Move over Google?

[Rum]

Google seems to be taking over the world. And I find myself becoming a little apprehensive about what amounts to their censorship, even if on a relatively minor scale, after listening to a program on the radio yesterday where a spokesperson was talking about how they order their search outcomes. For example following a couple of high profile on line suicides they made is much harder to get a decent result without multiple clicks to find 'how to commit suicide' apparently (just on example).

It is fashionable to knock Microsoft but I d'loaded Bing the other day, despite the silly name. Personally I love it and would recommend it. I think the maps, though not as wide a coverage as Google, are in my view better (3D Maps are great!) and the searches 'feel' different. Google has too big a share of things for any serious rival to make much headway I suspect, but they have become all powerful in my view and that can't be good.

End of rant anyway. Sticking with Bing for a bit!

I'm underwhelmed by Google's attitude about what they say people want. I started this thread (http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 37&start=0), and the forum I linked to shows a lot of others a peeved with the latest innovation. A lot of people have changed to Bing.

Is Bing free?

Google has the money to throw around and mess around with, I read a recent article yesterday on how they're developing oceanic-based wind generators.

Is Bing free?

Yep. Its just a web search engine and start page (if you want it to be). Not a client.
