Bing Blahs

I really like Bing. In the last few years they have really improved things but then today they lost me again. As a Developer I search a lot. Ok, a lot more than a lot… Today I was asked to enter a captcha to continue using the service (with a captcha that is impressible to read by the way). I found out this happens a lot more than I knew about. Ironically I gave up trying to read the captcha from Bing and searched for what was going on using Google…

  • I feel your pain. I'm an avid Google user. I use as many of their free services as I can (why not?). When Microsoft came out with Bing, I thought "Great, Microsoft trying to peak their head into this market with a new crappy service or product." But when I saw Bing change over time, my opinions shifted. They've put a lot of money and resources into giving their users what they want. However, I simple can't stop using Google. Bing is too cluttered. They tried to make a service that was as efficient as Google but contained more "prettiness". The hard truth is that Google is efficient because it doesn't contain "prettiness". It's straight-forward, no B/S, no games, no messing with the user, no require this-and-that security.
