If you are a technology freak and following IT news websites and if you are not ..If you are following Microsoft news and if you are not ..if you are closed source supporter and if you are not ..

If you have heard about

Or not ..

Here’s my personal feedback and review on bing…

First while talking about bing you may need to open these links in new tabs:

Commenting Alexa

It’s obvios that google is #1 and is going to be there stable for long time .. but it’s great to notice the unbelievable increase in bing statistics ..
you may also change the resolution to trailing 7 days to understand how fast it’s ..

WHY ?

For the following reasons I’m posting about bing
1-I was wondering why do someone bing like Microsoft insist on competing with google enhancing live or even launching bing although they really know that google is google ..!

2-bing became a buzz word lately on internet

3-When I gave it a try it wasn’t live search disguised as I expected .. It’s some features to talk about..

4-It’s well known that microsoft wants to acquire yahoo and suddenly I heard the news that they withdrawn the proposal .. and I don’t mean that there is a conspiracy here but it’s so strange ..

Technically Personally Speaking

Technically It sounds like google is faster but i’m not talking about that now, specially that I’ll not be fair if I commented any of them technically .. so that what I saw from my eye-balls..
I visited it once I got the news that it was launched and I was about to bounce once I opened the site ..
Google -as a competitor in my head- has a great simple home page and I’m quite sure that no one will lose his direction or search alot to reach the destination and as I can see it’s a super picture here that sounds to be over design for the first moment..

• BUT,It’s not any RANDOM picture
  bing is placing a new picture everyday and related links on the picture which is great from many point of views that you may deduce yourself but for sure the one you may not get directly is the impact of that picture on people living in the picture and you may get the feeling by imaging
  Mansoura university the background of bing search engine .. ok I should stop day dreaming ..
  
• Maps
  While talking with Mohammed Atia he pointed me that bing maps is different than google maps as they are in angle and not a very high top view like the google ones ..
  I still like google maps and it’s highly integrated, specially with open APIs but bing really uses maps WISELY .. specially in integration with people search which is NEW to me..
• Other features like your dinner tonight/ breakfast, popular now and Travel are nice enough to check also ..
• I’m not a big fan of M$ so I’m totally satisfied with google .. and still can’t get what microsoft is heading to ..!

Sorry for the long post and here comes my personal news:
