No, you won’t need to go to Google to find Bing – all you need to do is to visit Bing.com where you’ll find that Bing is now in beta.
Although Microsoft wasn’t set to launch Bing into life until June the 3rd, it seems as though someone at Microsoft just couldn’t wait for Bing to start singing its siren song of search.
So, while Google may have thought it still had a couple of days up its sleeve to work on whatever plans it had to sting Bing, it looks like Microsoft has danced like a butterfly so it could do some stinging of its own.
Finally, the world can now see whether Microsoft has the smarts to make Live, MSN and even Google Search but distant memories, but will the reality be a surge of interest in Bing before the familiar ring and results of Google become too overwhelming?
You’ll have to let us know what you think of Bing, dear reader.
The big question is… how quickly Google will take some of the elements Bing has brought forward and duplicate them in its own search results?
But the thing is that Bing has really just taken some of the advances that Google has brought forth, and has simply improved them.
So Google making its own search results better should be very easy for it to achieve, thus bringing into question just how much of an impact Bing will ultimately make.
There are those who think Microsoft can bring freedom back to the Internet, while others decry Microsoft stealing our freedom through DRM-infested operating systems.
But with Google potentially becoming even more of a threat than Microsoft, which one of these two devils is the one we know better? Hard to say.
Enough of this. The wait is finally over. Wanna see Bing? Then go to www.bing.com and try it for yourself!
