Hi people, Bing is not yet live. It will be fully rolled out this Wednesday, June 3rd. - http://tinyurl.com/bingpress It might be useful to take a close look at the positioning of Bing, it's not really a search engine per se... it does search but the aim goes beyond search to helping the end user of the engine 'make sense' of the search results: “Today, search engines do a decent job of helping people navigate the Web and find information, *but they don’t do a very good job of enabling people to use the information they find*,”. This is why it's being positioned as a *decision engine*, rather than a *search engine*. I think of it as a general purpose decision support system for the ordinary internet user :-) - I think that's a valid problem to solve in general whether for any of the search engines out there. http://www.decisionengine.com On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 6:20 PM, Steve <sikileng@gmail.com> wrote:
