Bing and Decide â Microsoft to take up the competition with Google.
Microsoft will initiate its search engine Bing and will enter into a competition with the major search engine Google.
Microsoft has tried before with MSN Search and Live Search without success and no threat to Google at all.
Microsoft is charging ahead according to Wall Street Journal with a more effective search engine because it searches deeper into the web pages to find the search string you look for.
The name is supposed to be an important key to success as well. The name BING is short and easy to say and will work worldwide on all types of domains says Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
The advertisement budget is on around 100 million Dollars, and we just have to wait and see how effective it will be and how well received the search engine Bing will be.
So if you can not Google it, Microsoft will help you bing it to you!
Bing it to me baby!
Microsoft will launch its new search engine Bing on June 3, and prepares to compete more effectively with Google. While Google invented the advertising-based search model, which produces most popular items for each query, Microsoft is aiming to change the search game by calling Bing a âdecision engineâ , which will offer more insights to users for helping them take decisions, and not necessarily throw the most popular and relevant items. âWe are introducing a new level of organisation to search results, and our differentiator will be the best results for query,â Satya Nadella, senior vice- president (R&D , online services division) Microsoft told the media.
So Google are getting more competitors by the day, are they for real or will they just vanish into the shadow like the rest of them? Will Google be the king of the hill for the foreseen future, or will it meet its make sooner or later?

Are we on the treshhold of a new generation of search engines, that will serve the purpose of spcial interest groups or researches in need of more knowledge, for the decision makers that will need to information to make their decisions?
It certainly looks like due to the expanding voume of information available on the internet, there is a need to be more intelligent in how to get hold of the right information at the right time for the right people.
Smart search has been a term for a long time, and it seems like it becomes more and more important as the explosion of information is overwelming and the verification and quality control of the information avialable on the internet will be more and more important to the users.
Converting information to knowledge has become a hugh challenge on the internet, corporate intranets and even in your local network at home. The amount of information stored in todays society is enourmous, and each individial will need a way to search their information stored in an effective way to find what they need and nothing more.
Google is the first generation of global search engine, and we enter the era of the second generation search engines that will become the knowledge engine.
