How is Bing better than Google?

It’s more of a preference to me. Bing has a little bit of a different layout in terms of their search results than Google. Some people like this better.

It isn’t.

Or… http://www.altavista.com/

Now that Microsoft has declared its intention to continue to help the Mainland Chinese government to censor the web, I would choose to boycott Bing and support Google on moral grounds. Any perceived advantage that Bing might hold seems trivial to me when compared to such bad corporate behavior.

Bing isn’t better, it’s just overgrown. I don’t really get the new advertising since I don’t notice Bing finding me more relevant search results. If I want to book a hotel, I will use a hotel search engine.

Both search engines find good results, but I feel that Google finds better results. If I look something up that a friend mentioned, like a restaurant, Google manages to find the exact restaurant as the first result with very little information. Bing usually takes some cajoling, and throws it in there with other like-named restaurants.

it’s supposed to cut out all the blah blah and just give you the top relevant results… riiiiight

It has better marketing. Beyond that, it’s not.

It’s not.

It has a shorter name for starts! And…umm….I don’t know…. ummm….a shorter name? Anything else?
