It is easily surmised from my previous posts and comments elsewhere that I am not at all impressed with Microsoft’s latest search engine gimmick passed off as bing.com. However, I do have something good to say about them. Thanks to their advertising superbudget a few excellent and borderline impressive commercials have found themselves on millions of TV screens worldwide. I should explain that I like thier commercials, and not their commercial fast-forwarding scheme. Check the vid:
While bing’s ad is somewhat true of other search engines, it is a bit deceptive. The related keywords that the man is reciting as search results from the “other” search engines most often occur in the form of sponsored listings – which Bing also Otherwise, the actual query results remain rather accurate. Bing is clever, but will they prove to be better?
P.S. – If you want to humor yourself, head over to bing and type in “traffic ticket”, and then see how many of the results match up to what the man recited in the commercial. It is funny how a few of the results are exactly what bing contends they shouldn’t be.

I also find bing’s ads to be pretty humorous with the truth behind them, but even so I can’t see them making their service much better than Google’s search engine. I have no problem finding what I need with Google and I think most others feel the same way. So I really don’t see Bing taking over the search engine industry anytime soon.
