Google sounded a bit silly to begin with too, but "bing" is not a positive word association for me. I'd be really interested to know what research went into choosing this name and what the results were. I'm certainly not the average user, but I'm interested to know who is. I wonder if this was chosen internally by Microsoft or one of their marketing/ad agencies... -- ME2 On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Sam Cayze <[email protected]> wrote: Bing reminds me of one of those spammy landing pages for a misspelled URL. ________________________________ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 11:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Bing vs. Google (a side-by-side framed web site) Interesting. Seemed to me that Google loaded a bit faster than Bing. Guess I know which one I'm going to (keep) using.
