What a ridiculous name. I read this article about how they got experts to pick the name so that it would be "verbalized" like "gooling" or "Fedex it". How deliberate. Bing is Window Live (and before that, the pathetic MSN Search) in new packaging.

very true.
they picked on some gui titbits from MAC though
(hold your mouse cursor on the video's to play them in thumbnail)

verbalize ?
"more bing for your duck"

Such a dumb sounding name. It's got a sound-effect sound. They should atleast have had a proper-noun-ish word.

Just shows how little the experts actually know.

Maybe they should have called it Spash. or Gowl. or Ponk.

Good for searching downloadable documents, music, videos, etc.

Bing (and Live Search) supports a unique "contains" search operator that lets you find web pages that contain links to particular file types.

For instance, a search like susan boyle contains:mp3 will show pages that are about the British singer and that also link to MP3 files. Replace mp3 with doc to search pages that contain links to Word Documents.

I don't buy it.

Does this make sense?

StatCounter Global Stats research data, which is based on four billion pageloads per months, shows that Bing gained 5.62% of the global search market in just three days from launch on 1st June, narrowly beating Yahoo! on 5.13%. In the same period, Google’s market share declined from 90.45% to 97.62%.

Its MS paying this local outlet to publish bullshit (i.e. "research" statistics). I don't buy it for a minute. The bigger the lie...

It doesn't! even if they are reversed the numbers still don't add up.

They have changed that to 87.62% now...maybe it was a typo...

I used it, and it's slow. And crap. I've used Beta products from Google, none of them diss this bad.

So how would this verbalized "bing" be used in a sentence, "Bing the research from the internet" or "Bing it up" or "we are binging on the net"
