After just one month, Microsoft’s re-launched search engine Bing is the 13th most visited site on the web. It’s a seriously excellent search engine too.
This as Google announced their Chrome operating system to compete with Windows.
PS Tech blogger Robert Scoble said on Friendfeed that Microsoft has a big announcement coming this Monday, big enough apparently to make Google pre-announce this week about Chrome. And indeed Microsoft does. Office is coming to the cloud.
Wouldn’t office in the cloud lead to even slower functionality. The speed and tasks are now limited by network, not just your own personal PC. I see a niche market for an office cloud, kind of like google docs today, but I am having a hard time seeing the office clound in mainstream business and home use.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
