Bing: the little search engine that couldn’t.

Unknown to Bing, Facebook, Twitter and others, their editorial function protects them from regulatory interference unless the do something stupid like ‘ditch the Canoli, keep the (smoking) gun’.

Google did not falsely accused MS. They found that MS was replicating fake search results that Google produced.

MS admitted to using the Google search results. They stated it was through the customer enhancement program part of IE and shrugged it off. If they admitted to it then how is that a false accusation?

*Microsoft similarly makes it clear as an opt-in option on the installation screen of Bing toolbar:Help Microsoft improve your online experience with personalized content by allowing us to collect additional information about your system configuration, the searches you do, websites you visit, and how you use our software. We will also use this information to help improve our products and services.

The Funniest thing about this post is under related articles “Bing reborn: New UI, Facebook and GOOGLE+ integration, more” I guess you didn’t read that before publishing this? In the Bing demo videos you can clearly see that Google+ is very much apart of Bing’s social model.

Wasn’t Bing documented as stealing Google search results via the IE customer enhancement program? Seems more like a temper tantrum from MS. I want your toys but you can’t play with mine!

First of all, Google+ influence is featured in the social sidebar, according to Bing’s search summit yesterday, which I attended.

Second of all, Google spent far too much time and social capital on (falsely) accusing Microsoft of stealing Google’s search results to use in Bing. Should anyone be surprised that Microsoft would be wary of how it positions Google+ results in its searches?

Come on. The fact that Bing bothered to integrate G+ into its new social foundation is pretty nice already. I don’t think a representative from Google was even present at the summit, while Facebook and Twitter folks were there to happily support their integration into Bing.

Is the 3rd paragraph supposed to say, “What Bing will NOT do”?

“What Bing will do though, and what might very well stop it from being successful in this very visibly Google-toned internet world, is include Google+ search results.” You’re missing a “not” in there.
