Good to meet you. I think competition is good as well. To date MS has not done near enough to take Google on...this post was written in June and I think the new battleground is now the "cloud". Very good points though best Eric Hi Matt

I use firefox and my default search tool is Google, as a person with some decent computer skills I can choose whomever I like, but I choose google like I choose my favorite t-shirt for bedtime. Google, is a giant and we do need someone to take some market share. I believe in competition and I hope yahoo and microsoft can do something to narrow the gap. Here is the funny thing. My home page is yahoo, but I never use their search tool, so the yahoo/bing team will have to do something amazing! I agree with your points, but I believe it is familiarity.

Who better to have on their team than the messiah of SEO. You are great Eric.

Too funny. I think one comment above that is worth a re-read is Mark Green's. I really think you may be right about Ballmer trying to stick a fork in Yahoo...and they may well be able to pull that one off. A couple of us here in Louisville were talking about that tonight and it really does not matter who the winner is...the loser is Mr. Yang. ;-) Best Eric Hey Dennis! Too funny.

My site ranks well on Bing so they aren't totally off the mark and in fact IMO for my area, Bing is doing a better job than G since I am ranking higher than those old crappy AA sites. ;) Of course I agree with you that Bing doesn't have a chance in competing with G, but at the same time, maybe G will realize that some of those old antiquated AA sites, really are not more relevant than a more modern, informative, totally awesome website. :) Come on Eric, you say search engines are entirely about relevance… My site ranks well on Bing so they aren’t totally off the mark and in fact IMO for my area, Bing is doing a better job than G since I am ranking higher than those old crappy AA sites. ;)

I'm glad I found this site because I'm going to franchise my funeral home business. You want to get in on the ground floor with me? Turns out I do well on Bing just the same as Live and MSN. If only it were a relevant search engine. Reading you loud and clear, Eric! I’m glad I found this site because I’m going to franchise my funeral home business.

Will sunlight be the best disinfectant? or will it just shine the light of truth over the pig sty...;-) @Kevin- You are correct about Wolfram...in my opinion you need to alter the game rather than go the same thing. The advantage that M-soft has is their distibution. That said people shift their new PC's from Bing to Google every day. At least Wolfram is offering a truly innovative approach.

With Bing, it feels like its the 1990s again as far as "relevant" sites being displayed. Even with the built in distribution network that they may have, if the search engine doesn't display relevant and NON-spammable results - customers will go somewhere else. It will be interesting to see how quickly people figure out just how spammable Bing truly is - and if they will make any corrections to fix it, before they lose all relevancy and sizzle for promotion of Bing's release.
