Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 3rd, 2013

We've all seen a fierce competition between Google and Bing. The question is, which one is better? Be sure to register your vote!

I'm getting so tired of all of MS's false attacks against Google. "People prefer Bing to Google." If that was true, then why is Google still alive and strong?
So yeah, Google Tongue

I use Google Chrome so Google


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 23rd, 2013

One thing I really love about Google chrome is that the search bar doubles as the URL bar. It's definitely very convenient in my mind.


Re: Google vs Bing - Durfsurn - May 25th, 2013

Chrome also comes on iOS and me having an iPhone and an iPad for school it is really useful for syncing them together.


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 25th, 2013

Ah nice. I wasn't aware that it was also available for the iPhones and iPads. That's neat if you ask me.


Re: Google vs Bing - Durfsurn - May 25th, 2013

It's so handy when u find something on ur phone and u don't have to email youself the URL to remember what it is at home.


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 25th, 2013

I really hate trying to remember long URLs on the fly. I mean, http://thismywebsite12345.net/pages/?action=view;?page=5;?topic=9992;?j=3399914135 isn't exactly easy to remember in your head. Unfortunately I don't have the money to get a really nice phone, so I don't even have copy/paste to help me there.

I have the default android browser on my S2.
Anyways, in Bing vs Google, Bing is starting to catch up. They now have their equivalent to street view slowly expanding. But I generally use google, most streamlined and generally better search results. Though not always.


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 27th, 2013

At least Bing is far better than some of the "minor" search engines.

I think the biggest thing that annoys me about Bing is the overall interface. Google seems to feel a little bit more streamlined, which I really like.


Re: Google vs Bing - simlink - May 29th, 2013

Yahoo search is ...ehhh... and not to mention it isn't fast to update/crawl. Simopsis, for example, doesn't show up on Yahoo! Search, but comes to the top on Google.


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 29th, 2013

I think yahoo charges a fee to even submit your site. That alone is enough to drive me away. Tongue


Re: Google vs Bing - simlink - May 29th, 2013

Oh, Yahoo. Though their redo of Flickr is cool. 1TB of space free for photo storage!


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 29th, 2013

1TB? Woah... that reminds me of those webhosts that offer "unlimited space"... LOL Tongue


Re: Google vs Bing - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - May 29th, 2013

That's a lot, but I have no need for such large amounts. On dropbox I get 2gb, and I only use about 8% of that. And I have a lot of pictures too. Tongue


Re: Google vs Bing - simlink - May 29th, 2013

I may use it for my City Journals going forward... we'll see.


Re: Google vs Bing - Darth-Apple - May 29th, 2013

I can see a lot of flexibility out of 1TB being usable though. That's for sure.


Re: Google vs Bing - brian51 - June 5th, 2013

BING is a very good search engine
its better than google i think for images and multi media
But overall, i suppose i would call them a Tie

thanks, Brian
