Bing.com

I am writing it a little late because I thought that I should wait for some time before writing a review about bing.com, Microsoft’s “decision engine”. Bing was released on June 3^rd, all the technology conscious people were waiting that what type of decision engine Bing will be. I also got baffled with the term decision engine, will it be like WolframAlpha? Will it be like search engines like Google? Or will they are coming with a whole new idea?. But at the end it is a search engine like Google, then why they were saying it decision engine? Well whatever it is, Microsoft has followed its traditions to copy others idea and then grab the market share. Well Google is their main competitor and interestingly the stats after the release of bing shows that more and more people are using bing than Google, so some good news for Microsoft :P. I also used bing and it produces good search results, the interface is quite cool with rotation of stunning photography while Google interface is simple, maybe more people are attracted towards the cool interface of bing. But in my opinion as I said in one of my previous posts that users don’t want to get links for their searches, they want answers rather than list of links of websites that Google and Bing are providing. Users want search to be smarter and simple than ever before, which gives them accurate results within less time. Bing has not came with any new idea it is just another drop in an ocean. Although WolframAlpha is not successful but they came with a new idea and they are going to improve it with time, that’s the type of search that people want or even more. Let’s hope that some useful search engine will come or the existing ones will be optimized to give users what they want!!
