Take the Bing Challenge

Have you hear about Bing? It is the new way to search the web from Microsoft. Will it replace Google for searching? Who knows but it is worth a look.

So, since tomorrow starts a new month, I propose we change our default search engines to Bing and see how we all get along.

The Bing home page always has a nice graphic and has been designed to load the graphic last so you can get straight to your searching. You can set this feature on or off by clicking on or the other of these links.

Let me know how it’s going for you.

    I figure if it ain’t broke, I am not going to fix it. Google has been fine for my needs, I can sort info well, and am not concerned about the idea of “info overload.” In fact the commercials were insulting to suggest that people are too stupid to disseminate information, and needed a “decision engine.” If I did need a decision engine I can promise you that it would not be created by Micro$oft. They are EVIL.
