Bing
Have you been to bing.com? Purposely? Accidentally? Back in June 2009, Microsoft released a new search engine as a competitor of Google, Yahoo, and all those other popular names. Then, in the next version of IE, Bing was the default search engine. This forced more people to run into Bing either by accident or on purpose. Bing is pretty much just a replacement for the Windows Live search engine (oh how I hated it). Bing has actually been a large improvement over Windows Live search. Bing has brought all new features and accessibility to the web!

I don’t use Bing very often but when I do, I am fairly happy with it. I don’t think it will EVER be more powerful and popular then Google but for basic web searching, Bing is a great tool!
