My Week with Bing

Fred, I decided to take up your suggestion and give Bing a try for a week.

At first I really liked it, found it to be very 'clean' in terms of layout, and it invariably had what I was looking for in the first or second result. Then after a couple of days, I started to notice the down-side. Bing felt less 'intelligent' than Google, and more static. Like you, I missed News and social media results, and I also missed Google's suggested alternatives, which are useful when you're not sure of a spelling.

I didn't last the week...by Friday I was back with Google.
