Posts Tagged Bing

I just stumbled across this article, about Microsoft’s new search engine Bing, which was written by the New York Post. The article has a sensationalist headline, implying that Microsoft has finally built a Google killer, which has been acknowledged by Google in the form of a crisis management team. This is just silly. Of course Google will investigate any new possible competitors, to ensure that they don’t have any obvious advantage. As is written in the article itself, most people use Google and will continue using it. There is a certain amount of inertia involved before people will change their habits, and although Bing is good, it’s not really better than Google.

I guess this article just demonstrates that news sells, and there’s no news like bad news.
