• Bing
  
  I use Windows Live Maps all the time for business because of the birds eye view.
  
  Today I noticed it no longer maps.live.com but bing maps and there is a new search engine at bing.com.
  
  Microsoft\'s new internet search engine that is suppose to help people make better decisions.
  
  Any know about this?
  
  Odd find in such a routine.

• all i know is that bing has screwed up our house hunting! they used to put up pics of the houses - at least the front of tha damn thing, anyway. now all you can get, it seems, is the bing view. which blows, since it never tells you which exact house you should be looking at, or what side of the road its on, or anything... so, so far, **** bing.
  
  sorry microsoft, you\'re only about a decade and a half behind on this one... although, to be honest, i\'ve never used it for anything else...
  
  
  
  also,

• Microsoft is trying to gain a larger share of the search market pie from Google. They recently rolled it out though I haven\'t tried it yet.

  Have been trying to get it for over a year now.
  Made with delicious Black Bing Cherry with only 40 cals and packing 120 mgs of caffeine, lotsa taurine and tons of B\'s ..
  Sounds like an energy drink made in heaven.

  I agree. All I got for months in my hotmail account was Live.com shizzle.
