Microsoft unleashes new search engine Bing

Early this month I was notified about Microsoft starting new search engine Bing. MSN has not been successful compared to Yahoo and G00GLE in gaining search engine share and Microsoft's Yahoo acquisition for 44,6 billion last year did not work as well. In 2007 Microsoft tried to balance scales to their side by releasing tafiti.com, redesigned search engine of MSN based on Silverlight platform but according to statistics Tafiti did not gain a noticeable search engine share.

Will Bing.com be more successful than Tafiti is something that time is going to show.

Most likely will be useless. Few months ago Deepdyve was released, with representatives claiming that it was a different search engine in comparison with top search engines like Google and Yahoo. The hype only lasted about a month, and no more press release on this search engine has been reported ever since...

Microsoft can't challenge Google by only renaming its MSN search, polish up the interface and improving features. People are searching for efficiency and functionality in a search engine, not for its beautiful looks or features that are possibly redundant...

@Be James
You have to know that Deepdyve is a different kind of search engine and was probably never released to actually compete with Google or Yahoo. At least this is my opinion. After all Deepdyve focuses on search results that other search engines do not index due to their "unimportance". This kind of information is also know as deep web and is of secondary importance or of little use for casual web user. Anyway I kinda like Bing interface though I have a feeling Bing copied ask.com. But still to me Google brings the most relevant search results.

Bing's nice to look at and yeah, Bing could've copied Ask.com. Its main page's layout structure looks similar to ask.com's except that it looks way nicer.

Performance-wise Bing is also way better than Ask. It loads completely under just 5 seconds while it took a full 15 seconds for Ask.com to load completely on my PC. Google is perhaps the fastest at 2 seconds.

Better than Google or not, Bing is definitely better than ask.com, dogpile and most of the other lesser-known search engine.

I agree with you about ask.com James. I never got used to it, I do not know why.
