Microsoft is going through a re-branding of their search services and claiming that they have improved search. They have changed from “Live” to “Bing” and are advertising like mad. A friend of mine has created the website Bingle (http://bingle.pwnij.com) which allows users to compare Bing and Google.
After using Bingle, I have found that Google is quicker to update their results and had Wakomo listed quicker and the revamp of Bandholz.com listed before Bing. It also appears that Microsoft thinks that results from their services are better than other things on the net (it is showing my never used MSN live account 5th in the results for “Eric Bandholz”). I do however find myself using Bing’s maps. It is very similar to Google maps but with a different source of their satellite and the “Bird’s Eye” feature which is pretty cool.
Bingle has a cool feature that allows you to view either only Google or only Bing by clicking on “all google” or “all bing” respectively. So go over there and try it for yourself. Also, follow the jump to see a mockup of a site redesign I did for him.
