It’s rare to have a serious new entry into the search market that makes people sit and up and pay attention. Lately the only one that comes to mind is Wolfram Alpha, although they claim to be aiming at a niche search market rather than directly competing with the likes of Google.
Enter Bing – the new search engine from Microsoft which has now replaced live.com as the default for searching. Sporting not only a new interface and a catchy name (which Microsoft are hoping will become a verb) Bing will help you search the web smarter – allowing you to drill down to the information that you need as quickly as possible. Even though it’s only been around for a number of days it’s already garnered interesting support from the press – and surprisingly positive support from the likes of Steve Wozniak (Apple co-founder).
Can the good roll continue? We can only hope so!
