I hope Bing can survive with their 10% market share... Google is unstoppable at the moment with the total control in their hands. If tomorrow Google comes out and says that it's cool for them to turn the search box upside down and make it flicker in different colors and add that it will actually help users to search, nobody will object. Nobody can object. .-= Beck´s last blog ..SEO plugins for WordPress =-.

Comparing the homepage and design for bing and google is great but I still believe that google made an impact in terms of Search result .Google search result homepage is simple. One thing about google they have an updates for personalization of search results and I don’t know how good it is but I stick to google search result because they give me accurate result rather than the bing homepage design.

@ Rich; if it is true, I hope the MS head honchos get to hear of it or were those head honchos? You know what they say about Quality; it shows.

Ok, maybe I’m biased. I’m a big fan of Google and will be for a long, long time. Less is always more for me here. It’s that clean, elegant, uncluttered, “what do you want me to do for you?” interface that I love.
It screams “Go on, go on, type!” and all I want to do is search, not get an education in the process.

I find Google’s homepage to be MORE distracting. It fades in before you have a chance to type anything in anyway. Not that I’ll ever visit google.com again.

When i want to search for something why do i need to see sharks?

Give me a place to type, hit return and show me the results. Simple as that.

I’m not searching for random facts or need to see a different picture every day. If i wanted that I would search for it. Don’t try and read my mind “Bing” just give me the facts.

Google has the right idea. Minimalistic. If i need something else, i can find it.

I love google’s home page. It’s also my browser’s home page – I love the clean look without anything else going on.

It’s fast and never slows me down. Couldn’t be better – although I don’t really like the auto-complete feature that much. Sometimes that’s helpful, but other times annoying.

Google started doing that a few weeks ago and I must admit that I do like it. When I’m going to search for something, all I need is a text box and a button. Everything else is indeed a distraction.

I never understood what was so great about Google’s home page and why there was so much hype about it. Of course, I’ve been a long term Yahoo user, and I like my central place being a place with information on it. Even when I use Google, it’s never from the home page, but from the toolbar (or resulting search page).

As far as Bing, I use it as well, and it will probably sound strange, but I find the pictures to provide a calming effect while searching. It’s a nice change for the web.

I have my home page set to Bing now – I love seeing the “daily picture” – and my daughter even checks it out before she leaves for school on my PC.

Minimalist for Google is fine for them – but that’s why many of us switched to igoogle pages… cuz is almost TOO boring.

Hi guys

Bing’s home page is pretty cool compare to google’s homepage and their search result are usually the same but i prefer using the Google than Bing since I’ used to it. And for me, Google is better when in comes to search result.

Kind Regards
