read this about bing: ...today's Quote of the Day comes from this New York Times article, which attempts to explain how Microsoft (MSFT) happened upon the name "Bing" for its revamped online search engine. Although CEO Steve Ballmer is enthusiastic about the possibility for Bing to become a commonly used verb, along the lines of Google (GOOG), the article concludes with a sobering observation:
"Meanwhile, some tech people were already noting that Bing is also an unfortunate acronym: 'But It's Not Google.'"
Even if Bing takes off (which I doubt) Google will leap-frog everybody with something bigger and better. Kind of like they are going to do with Google Wave later this year, which given some time will revolutionize email, social networking and a bunch of other apps.
