It seems there is a long way for bingahoo to catch up with Google. Anyway, I do wish anyone can challenge the leading position of Google in the search field. This should be more like a fair game.

A monopoly situation is never healthy. You may all be happy right now, but watch your backs for the knife that will come out of nowhere at any time and don’t moan when the elephant slaps you again. The sooner we see some real competition the better.

Google is just fine by me: it seems to be mirroring Microsoft in the late nineties/ early noughties. Will they be knocked off their perch? Is this the end of their dominance? When they lost the competition lawsuits.

Microsoft is still here and booming (even allowing for cloud computing) and I don’t mind at all: better the devil you know.

From a lazy SEM point of view, it’s also nice to have only one over-arching strategy!

I’m completely over the fact that Google is so dominant. It used to bother me that they were so big and powerful (a bit like coca cola, microsoft,etc) but you know what? It doesn’t matter.

They are good at what they do, they deliver what they promise and their searches are relevant so for me at least, it’s a case of just going with the flow and using whichever search engine suits my needs and right now, Google does just that.

I don’t think we’ll see a change very soon on this arena since the beauty in Google doesn’t lie just on its algorithm to find what you’re looking for, but in its simplicity. Have you seen their tests for the homepage by hiding the search button? When Bing and Yahoo understand this, then and only then will they have a chance to become better achievers.

It’s fine and dandy Jordan , Google’s still search king. I think the interest in Bing is because it has been advertised as a different sort of search engine with more ‘relevant’ results grouped and people are just trying to see what it’s all about. Time will tell, but I prefer Google’s clutter-free interface to start with any of my searches. I’m not a landscape person..
