bing simply isn't as good as google, bottomline

google returns more accurate results in general

nah they are just trying to gain market share because Google had a massive market before they entered.  They have actually been gaining on them as well.  They even passed Yahoo which has been around for much longer


Probably a good thing they didn't buy Yahoo because Yahoo is a sinking ship.  Their CEO that came back then rejected the Microsoft deal made a very idiotic move and should have sold right away.  He thought he could get more money but was rejected then I believe he tried to sell it for less than what Microsoft offered and no one was interested.  Their Yahoo Messenger which was a decent product up till about a few months ago when they closed all public chats.  Sure most of those public chatrooms were filled with bots but now the service seems dead (well at least to me) considering the very few friends I did have on it don't even use it anymore.  So Microsoft made a wise decision to not pursue Yahoo anymore (probably wasn't too wise to pursue them in the first place).



I only use bing for my porn search



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Why not use youporn, redtube, or the many other free sites?



I use Bing over Google in Spain.

Do you understand how many people 0.1% is?  

Also if im correct they now have 16% of the market compared to there 0% a few years ago.  They will continue to gain over time.  Slowly but surely.

No, and neither do you, or google, or Bing. So it's an obsolete statement.

Google has 67% market share.



There is no point for me to switch to Bing. Google does what it does well.



Plenty of people out their that would avoid anything from MS just because they are loyal to another company. Why? I don't know.
OT: I use Google just because that's the engine I've used my whole life (don't fix what isn't broken as the saying goes) If Google was to suddenly disappear and be replaced by Bing I wouldn't care at all.

Yeah, last month they gained 0.1% on Google. Let's celebrate!

That's not exactly true, Bing used to be Live Search and MSN Search before that so it didn't start with 0% market share.



Signature goes here!

I use Google because that's what I've always used. I've never really given any search a chance besides Yahoo several years ago.

I guess that makes me the the very epitome of the "sheeple" I hear so many people talking about.
