Bing that, I’ll stick with Google.

Thats exactly what many predict will be said by the loads of Google users entering over 30 billion search requests a year. Bing, Microsoft’s new “revolutionary” search engine, doesn’t directly say it, but basically wants to give Google (and the other heavy hitters) a run for it’s money. So whats Microsoft’s Pitch? The feel Bing will be a smarter search engine, but not in the conventional sense. Microsoft’s aim in terms of relevant search results is virtually parallel to that of Goggles. Rather than display results biased on popularity, the engine uses a variety of algorithms to determine which sites will most closely meet you need. The difference lies in the fact that Bing will focus more on personal consumer needs and cater to individuals who travel, seek dinning and entertainment, or tend to search other popular consumer level topics. Bing claims to increase relevancy by offering things like: predetermined directions to search result locations and topic relevant categories within search windows.

Just like you, we were wondering: How good is this Bing? Even better, how does it compare. In our hot pursuit to answer that very question we stumbled upon (lol, stumbleupon) a side-by-side, blind comparison of Google, Bing and Yahoo search results. In the comparison, viewers had the chance to vote for one of the three search engines’ search results. the out come was interesting, Google earned a whopping 45% Bing 32% and Yahoo trailed behind with a mere 23%! So what can we say? Well, Bing, your not quite the smarter, better looking Google of tomorrow that you may hope to be but hey, we like you more than Yahoo! hey, its a start.
