Techcrunch posted a quirky little article on how a lot of the people there actually really like Bing, how its results are often actually better than Google’s, but that doesn’t mean it will just catch on with the general public and start a search revolution over night… And it’s simple really! The word “search” is now practically owned by Google, in that the most common term thrown around is “Google It” or “Googling” as opposed to “search for it” and for Bing to take that away from Google would need some seriously bad publicity for Google and ever more amazing search features on Bing.
So how does a new startup like Bing start to take on the monopoly in Google?
Hey,
I am a die hard Googler, it occupies major mind share of the millions of Googlers around the world. Yet, I tried using bing to experience the difference and honestly, it was close to wow experience. I really liked the colorful homepage with useful snippets popping up suddenly:)
But the next moment when I was ready for googling, I had switch to my fav Google. Probably it will take some more time to get people hooked to bing.
