Bing.com: If its not broke, fix it!

Did i miss something? Did i sleep in and wake up in a time where google wasnt enough? I think that microsoft’s bing.com “decision engine”, ITS NOT A SEARCH ENGINE! (i bet MS people get repremanded for calling it that). Microsoft is not competing to compete. The classic “the contest is hopeless, lets change the terms and act snooty” strategy that so many immature children play on a day to day basis has been adopted by one of the most influencial companies of the modern era. All the venting aside…I need to take a look at this thing.

Well ill be a son of a bitch. It works! It knew before i even got to the site that i was curious about charles de gualle’s thoughts on cheese and government. Now, if i remember correctly, their commercials feature people going crazy with “information overload”. Nah, its completely different. Its bing!

Side note; call me what you will, i like looking at other people’s photography about as much as i like smelling other people’s gross cooking. There is a reason that i frequent flickr about as much as i like using dirty public restrooms. Not just because everyone who got a digital camera for christmas is suddenly a “photographer”, but because i might just not be in the mood to look at two grown men scurrying cheese about some foreign country getting dysyntary all over everything. (the guy has on a watch. AKA jewelery. AKA inappropropriate food handling attire). Also, why should he have been a cook? Is bing poking fun at Mr De Gualle’s position on dairy products and the government thereof? Rude.

Lets put bing.com to the test against google. Now i dont give enough of a shit to do some big important write up on how bing sucks, you can visit it yourself and find this out, lets just take a single search and compare.

Search Term: Pickled Eggs

Google Review:

Fair enough. I see lots of pickled eggs, jars of pickled eggs, and a man eating a pickled egg. I would go as far as to say that my search has been satisfied and that i have found my pickled eggs.

Bing Review:

What the fuck? DVD’s? Aparently, bing has made a judgement call on my behalf and instead of finding me a picture of pickled eggs, it has found something more desireable. Also a mug.

In conclusion, i want to say that the only way bing.com would even be able to be competitive with google would be to offer the SAME results, with a better enviroment/response/experience. Since none of those things matter due to the fact that its fucking retarded, it will ammount to nothing and soon join vista, windows ME, and the paper clip in the halls of who gives a shit.
