The New Bing Makes Google Look Anti-Social

OK. So there is a Metro bar on the right side. Looks like a lot of work. But..why (Google+ should hear this, too) would I want everyone to see what I am searching for all the time? "Well, you don't have to tell anyone!", you say. Exactly. And now we're back to the norm and those who contract to a simpler approach win. Again.<p>I've never searched for something and then said, "I wish I could share this right now!" The reason being is that I haven't even seen the content yet – and when I do, there will be functionality to share right there. Why would I want to talk about something before I've seen it?

That reads like a MS press release.

And meanwhile, Bing still returns worse results than Google. Don't care, not interested. Stop fussing about with the window dressings and make your results not suck!

For the most part, I don't want my search to be social. I generally go to google for <i>facts</i>.<p>A good social search app would be a nice product, but I don't really want it conflated with my web search.

ReadWriteWeb needs to die. They just copy stories word for word, add a few lines and then produce some of the worst link bait titles on the web. Zero value.

Okay so the new Bing looks really good and works really well. Now they only need to change their name because I ain't binging. I can do MS Search or I can do Google but for God's sake change the name and please also stop running those spammy Bing rewards.

I'd like to try it, but you have to sign up for a newsletter to do so. That doesn't make sense.

Interesting, since the old "X" versions of Bing looked exactly like Google, with a pretty background.<p>Except the result page, which generally doesn't look like Google at all since Google's results I can generally use.

Facebook never gonna get my search data!

you can use a separate app if you need share your search query: <a href="http://servletsuite.blogspot.com/2012/02/ask-friends-socialize-your-search.html" rel="nofollow">http://servletsuite.blogspot.com/2012/02/ask-friends-sociali...</a>

Meh

The principles of capitalism and competition in action.<p>I seriously dont like Bing. But I don't use any google products now for more than a quick look (including gmail) because they be storing my data and preferring their G+ stuff over more relevant information. So, while I don't like Bing, I will probably give this a try, as it sounds like it is the proper balance in a social search engine.<p>And simple always wins in my book. This seems much less obnoxious/intrusive than G's new social search attempts.
