Bing

Microsoft e-mailed me today to let me know about their new search engine, two days after I had already played with it on the advice of one of my many geeky updates I get from the world of online every day. I'm not impressed. I can't see the point of having another search engine which is not as good as Google, but I particularly can't see the point of one which seems designed to give its users less control over their results. I know I am unnaturally in love with Google, but I'm not sure to whom Bing is designed to appeal, plus it took me a long time to use 'Google' as a verb, and I am certainly not going to give up Googling things to start 'Binging' them instead.
