Comments on: It’s Offical; Bing.com Is Introduced: “We Needed A Name That Says This Is All About Search” http://www.thedomains.com/2009/05/28/its-offical-bingcom-is-introduced-%e2%80%9cwe-needed-a-name-that-says-this-is-all-about-search/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:38:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jackobatzee http://www.thedomains.com/2009/05/28/its-offical-bingcom-is-introduced-%e2%80%9cwe-needed-a-name-that-says-this-is-all-about-search/comment-page-1/#comment-15041 Jackobatzee Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:16:05 +0000 http://www.thedomains.com/?p=3523#comment-15041 I think it reminds me of one of the Friends characters...Chandler Bing. So, let me get this straight...MSFT has a search engine that is most used next to or along with AOL (1997) Yahoo comes by and eats some of their lunch along with some other search engines. (Alta...etc.) Then google comes out and give the people what they want. So Yahoo, who controls the content back then atarts to alienate their customers but making their searches useless. Google gains market share by giving people what they want...relevant searches. MSN (msft) become a useless search engine. Recently, MSFT creates LIVE and it is buggy and pointless. Now they have Bing. This is speeding up the funeral for MSFT and google is so cocky they are starting to alienate their users. Now, all we need is someone who knows how to make a search engine that works and google gets dethroned. MSFT is dead in 10 years. Yahoo gets absorbed by someobody No way you say? I have 3 letters for you AOL! I saw that one coming. Everyone said...NO WAY! The trend is the minute you get so big you don't remember why you are relevant, you die like a dinosaur. Any of this making sense? Give the people what they want...and hopefully, you can squeeze some of your wishes in there too. Is that so difficult?

Google gains market share by giving people what they want…relevant searches.

MSN (msft) become a useless search engine.

Recently, MSFT creates LIVE and it is buggy and pointless.

Now they have Bing.

This is speeding up the funeral for MSFT and google is so cocky they are starting to alienate their users.

Now, all we need is someone who knows how to make a search engine that works and google gets dethroned.

MSFT is dead in 10 years.

No way you say? I have 3 letters for you AOL!
I saw that one coming. Everyone said…NO WAY!

The trend is the minute you get so big you don’t remember why you are relevant, you die like a dinosaur.

Any of this making sense?

Give the people what they want…and hopefully, you can squeeze some of your wishes in there too.

Is that so difficult?

Some allow visual searches, other more detailed searches in other ways. As long as they keep focusing on being different Google will still be king. We don't care if the engines are "different" we just want them better. You don't out sell Walmart by creating a brand new shopping experience, you just make your product more affordable and your customer service more professional. We humans like to stick with methods we grow accustomed to. Just design a search engine that does what Google does, in the manner that Google does it but better... suggestions, - don't allow spammy advertisers like scam government grants and Acai Juice diets - Consistently return high quality results but make finding those results simple. - Allow the search engine to be personalized (color coordination... perhaps a personal logo/title at the top) so users will feel dedicated to the process. This is what it would take to build a good search engine... why do search engines keep missing the forest for the trees?

People forget that google is a real word which means to look at something. In my youth in was mostly used in connection with girls as in "get a google of that" Anyway picking a word out of thin air is stupid. I think it is stupid.

Only that it is hardly a bingo effect here. The only thing I can say about this one is that Microsoft has the money to spend to make Bing.com a household name. Bing.com is short, but it barely passes the radio test. I think for domainers who invest in pronounceable LLLL.com names, this will help to boast the value of their portfolios. I think of Bingo!!
