No matter what you do Bing I will never use you, ever.


Because It's Not Google?

LOL!

The same reasons I have for me liking Apple more than Android. I have my reasons for liking Google over Bing.

(That sounds really messed up! XD )

What I wrote, believe it or not, is the true reason for the name. Learned it from the IT guy at my job.

He says it is a marketing thing. "Why doesn't it do this?" Because it's not Google.

"Why does it do that that instead?" Because it's not Google.

 

Makes sense rather than just choosing the name for some sound effect.

Bing is good.

Google is better.

Still not as detailed as google maps in my nick of the woods, but at least there is no big cloud on top of my house on Bing. No street view available on Bing at my place though. On google maps I can look at the contents of my garage.

I do love that feature, I was able to see the house where I lived when I was 0-3 years old, pretty neat considering that it's thousands of miles away now.

Yep it's great for that. Loved checking out all the places I used to live and went to school. Also interesting to see what all changed since 20 to 30 years ago. It will also be a nice feature if they keep all the streetview and aerial pictures over time so you can see cities changing over time in the future. I've always liked looking at old maps, seeing a city grow with animated aerial view maps will be really cool.

It's also always good for a laugh. Plenty of sites with best street view images.



I think Euphoria's abbreviation is actually true, I remember reading AND hearing that too somewhere, just can't seem to recall. I think my ICT teacher told me a few years back.

Bing is useless to me, Google is the most commonly used search engine/maps. I had to use maps on WP7 today, trying to find a post office. it told me to go in a complete opposite direction, all the way around. Luckily I've glimpsed the sign before I really followed that stupid laid out route.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
