meh.. Google will still be a fine basic search engine. Bing seems to be more of an information service.

Agreed. I'm finding more direct hits with Bing at this point. Google no longer provides reliable results for the search terms I give, and quite honestly, I've grown extremely disenchanted with Google over the past few months.

Cool has nothing to do with searching. I want it fast, I want it accurate, and if Bing continues to provide this, Google has a LOT to worry about.

Traffic wise in the last 2 days "bing" has 1/2 the visits than "google" to our site.
- This is wonderful, live only brought 1/128th the traffic of google.

More traffic is good !

You could even shout "Bing bing bing bing bing, we have a winner!!" when you find the result you are looking for.

Bing is the new "hot topic" right now, but I look for interest to fade to what it was in msn. Bing looks nice, I'll play around with it, but it has one major drawback.

Bing webmaster tools requires a hotmail email address. Well, if you do not log into your hotmail account every X number of days, its deleted - or at least it used to be. So you setup your bing webmaster tools, do not log into your hotmail account for X number of days, the account is deleted, then you have to start all over again when you want to check your sites data.

Your google account on the other hand is never deleted. So I can log back into it after over a year.

If you're using the webmaster tools to help build traffic to your website then why would you wait for a year to log back in? Doesn't seem like you would get very good results for the lack of effort.

Really, if you don't like the service than say you don't like it. Don't bring up some silly cockamammy excuse as to why.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
