Bing.com - What is it?

July 3, 2009

I have not done much research, and at first I dismissed Bing.com as just a rebranded MSN.

However, for whatever reason, that branding really appeals to my nearly teen daughter. She loves Bing because of the pictures and because she thinks it has more character.

I asked her to name something really good and better about it and she could not, other than it looks cool.

That got me thinking. The whole “simple” thing about Google has always been excepted as the right answer. When everyone else was super busy with links all over, Google came out with a box and a button.

Now, bing takes the box and button and just makes it more like a magazine ad.

Personally, I do not care. But I try to pay attention to the people around me and some people do care. And Microsoft is not trying to put Google out of business, just caputre a little more market share. With bing they will probably continue to do just that. I will be watching.

- Thank You!
