    Google or Bing?

    Which search engine do you use? Good old Google, Microsoft's new tool, Bing, or do you prefer another one?

    Just been curious and tested Bing, and even though it looks nice, I think I will stick with Google because Bing did not list my websites (www.catmom.de and www.kirsten-scheffel.de). Of course this cannot be accepted!

    What about you?

    I only heard about Bing a few weeks ago. Tried it a couple of times. Graphics are really nice. For now I will stick to Google.

    I use Google. I tried Bing a couple of times and wasn't overly impressed.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I use goodsearch.com so I can support One by One as a charity. I think it is sponsored by Yahoo.

    I do use Bing for one thing though. I use it if I want to buy something on Ebay with a Buy It Now. If you search for something, say WII or Nikon D80 with Bing, you'll usually get the Ebay option to get a percentage back from a Buy It Now auction. Lately it has been 8%, but I have seen it be as much as 30%. All you have to do is click on that link and then search on ebay for whatever it is that you want to buy. Most of the things have the money back icon. You just have to have a Bing.com account (which is the old live.com from MSN) and use PayPal. The % back is deposited into your paypal account.

  11. Bing just appeared and I guess I have been using it. I will now work to use Google instead.

    I was trying to find my local Jazzercise class and Bing could not find it. I switched to Google and ...there it was.

    I always use Google. Unless I'm trying to get cashback on ebay purchases.. Bing used to be Live.com.. thus Live Cashback. =)

    Google for me. Checked out Bing, wasn't impressed. Plus, I like saying "I googled it".
