Bing sure is a funny name for a search engine. The only other Bing I know is Mr Chandler Bing and he was funny. This Bing however is serious stuff. For the first time since Google came around, it has serious competition and for the first time I (a serious Google search user) have started considering another search engine as an alternative. It is still early days for Bing and there sure will be a lot of improvements in the pipeline but Bing doesn’t fail to impress. Mr Ballmer must be very happy to hear about Bing’s apparent early success.

Who is competition for the mighty Google search engine? On paper, there is Yahoo! search, Ask search, and now Bing search. If you have used it you will find how close Bing is to being a real threat to Google. Bing is already making bigger plans for the future by teaming up with Wolfram Alpha. 

Watch out Google!
