Bing, the new search engine from Microsoft

Everbody loves to search. We search for hotels, gadgets, news and many others on the web. Right now, Google search engine is the main search engine most of us use when we search the web. And because of this, Microsoft realized that they need to build a search engine in order to be more competitive. And so, Bing was born.

Bing will be released on June 3 and is expected to have a wide acceptance from computer users because of Microsoft's advertising campaigns. Bing's eye candy pictures on its home page looks very nice as well as the cool buttons and widgets displayed in Bing's search results.



Microsoft's Bing has the potential to gain market share in search. But the real test is whether those users will stay for the long term. Will we get better results as expected? Only time will tell. Maybe because of these search engine wars, we will eventually build the "Perfect Search Engine" in the future.
