On Wednesday I spent a very tense and anxious couple of hours trying to download the new software for my iphone. I won’t bore you with the details but lets just say that millions of people trying to access the apple servers at the same was also going to end in tears.
Anyway, I finally managed to get my wonder toy working again and have been having great fun exploring all the new stuff on the 3.0 platform.
This morning I was spending a few minutes browsing the net before getting up and came across an excellent article which I thought I would share.
If you haven’t heard by now there is a new search engine in town and its called Bing. Catchy, eh? Bing is from Microsoft and although Live Search has never really caught on, coming a very distant third to Yahoo in the market share stakes, Bing really looks like a contender.
Now, I’ve don’t hear too many people saying “Gosh I wish we had a different search engine to Google” but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that, up until now, all search engines have done pretty much the same thing and Google did it the best. But Microsoft have decided that the best defence is a good offence as their recent advertising on You Tube testifies.
Has Google had it their own way for far too long? I don’t know, but I know that Microsoft will have done their homework before embarking on a project of this magnitude and if they didn’t feel that there were chinks in the Google armour they wouldn’t be in the game.
From a search engine optimisation view point its still too early to say but I am smiling as I’m getting good listings for my own clients already:
