Why would anyone ever use Bing? - geodave - 09-May-2012
Well, there is the whole thing that Google was supposed to be "Googal" after the number, and googal was supposed to be "google" after a baby noise....

On the Xbox 360, they use Bing as well. Must be owned by Microsoft or something, but I can't really find myself using anything but Google anymore. Use to be a Yahoo fan, though.

Quote:With a name like Bing, how can you take it seriously?
Exactly.
Quote:It reminds me of the old Southwest Airlines commercial....Bing! You are now free to move about the country.
It never reminded me of anything in particular, but now that you mention it, the first thing I think of (besides the search engine) is Ned Ryerson in "Groundhog Day."
Quote:Well, the names Google and Yahoo don't exactly scream professionalism either...
I'd dare say that Google has gotten to the point at which it's sufficiently associated with quality that it's become a professional-sounding name. Yahoo! and Bing lack that luxury.

You know what, lately Bing hasn't been that bad and has often turned up the best result right at the top, even more often than Google does. However, today I was looking for a very specific download and couldn't find it, and Google helped a ton. So for now it's still Google for me, but am open to the possibility of using Bing if it's the default somewhere.
I can't believe I just defended Bing.

Yahoo! sucks. I prefer Google over Bing.

I used to pick MSN but yeah Google pretty much overtook everything.
