Title: Bing! Post by: Delmania on June 01, 2009, 05:12:11 PM So, if anyone cares, Microsoft launched the revamp of Live! Search, as bing.com. Supposedly, it's not a recursive acronym, but "BING Is Not Google" makes me laugh. However, unlike WA, this one seems actually somewhat useful. I doubt it will conquer the almighty Google, but I think it's one to keep any eye on.

Title: Re: Bing! Post by: Delmania on June 02, 2009, 04:08:34 AM Actually, I'd say Microsoft took more of the ideas from Ask.com as opposed to Google.

Title: Re: Bing! Post by: Trippy on June 02, 2009, 03:50:15 PM Well that's one way to boost the popularity of the site...
Title: Re: Bing! Post by: Viin on June 02, 2009, 07:04:00 PM Haha wow no safe search settings for video like images has. There is a setting, but if you turned it off for images then it's off for video too. Look right below the search box (after doing a search) and it should say Safe Search Off ( change ). Or are we seeing XXX videos in non-XXX searches? Title: Re: Bing! Post by: Righ on June 02, 2009, 07:29:02 PM Ironicly, Pinkfish (http://www.google.com/profiles/100512649718649402368) is now at Google.

Title: Re: Bing! Post by: Righ on June 09, 2009, 12:19:27 AM why is that ironic? Bing is an expression commonly associated with Pinkfish, on Discworld MUD (http://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/playing/soul.c?soul=bing) and elsewhere (http://www.ucc.asn.au/cgi-bin/finger?coke).
