You hate Bing? Microsoft might be Watching you

Microsoft is insanely serious on getting into search game. This is quiet justified due to phenomenal reasons. Being a search giant you get the royalty for everthing on the web. Take google for instance, they are the GOD of the Web. And, they sell the ads the way no one else can.

Previously, when I made post on “Why Bing sucks“, I was hit with large amount of traffic, which made me conclude that I wasn’t alone. I did some analytics to study the behavior of visitors that were keen in such blogs. They were somehow related with “Microsoft Hatred”. From there, I found something really interesting which made me blog this.

I observed a reckless pattern of visitors. Some were one timers, few were half readers, most were multiple , and a chain of those who were visiting blog almost everyday to check back the updates. Such cases would go for someone who “cares” about a particular topic. Who can it be, who would observe it so closely? Take the example of Real life,  who is the person most interested in knowing if a particular product is success in the market? Its the producer himself.

Before I could even trust the analytics, I wanted to capture their data to confirm that they were whom I was suspecting them to be. It was not just the IP addresses/subnets of the visitors but also the browsers, OS, other parameters which led me to the conclusion.

What is their Intent?

Bing was reported to have eaten Yahoo and google’s search share. First thing that came to my mind was, they are looking for feedback. Secondly, it could have been casual employees from the company. I wasn’t clear till I observed the later part that came as a confirmation.

I had listed certain Cons of Bing, not because I’m a MSFT hater, but for the fair reason. Eventually, as the post became mature, all of the mentioned Cons were being reconciled secretly by MSFT. I listed certain searches which were pathetically bad on Bing vs. Google. But they brought a surprise for me. Most of them were fixed and now they work as beautifully as Google does.

The proof can be digged out from the comments that followed up the post. Few comments followed up, and those actually started working better on bing. 😛 (which Binged me, oops, Pinged me)

Definitely, Bing is improving, and MSFT is damn serious about it’s success. Only time can Predict the real success. If they continue campains on ideas like Cash-Back on search, they are going to get a better share in the future.

  1. I am one of those mutli-page surfers you refer to. had 3 ciggaretes since I started reading your blog.

    Thing suprised me the most today was when installing google chrome on a Windows 7 Ultimate, it asked me to choose a default search engine.

    Guess what. It showed Bing as its first hit.

    It might be alphabetical. but I cant help but wonder, would microsoft do the same? considering they are no longer offering a browser as default on the new installations which is only due to loosing a court case.

    Anyway, I am liking your blog. Doesnt seem to be one-minded and gives actual relevant infrormation, so thanks for that. had fun reading here 🙂

  2. Bing ,Bing all around its just an ephemeral hype.Blogging is the best way to expressing yourself freely and I don’t think Bing or even any MS product can restrict us from that.What we hate is what we blog about,and if we like something we blog about that too.Even I wrote a post on Why Bing may never beat Google here: http://www.abhishekrane.com/2009/08/08/why-bing-may-never-beat-google/ and I too started getting many hits from Bingers but does it matter?.Nay 🙂 MS is getting hyper with big time losers like Ballmer.

  3. Word to Bing, making a headline to look like some huge article, the providing nothing more than a search engine prompt as a link does NOT qualify as uniqueness. ANYBODY can do that. No wonder people are beginning to choose Linux over Windows and Firefox over explorer, because Microsoft and BING are a load of SHIT.

  4. I hate how on msn.com, I click on something interesting that looks like an article and it turns out to be a link to a search string on Bing. I feel like I'm being tricked into using it. Also, when I had Internet Explorer, it started opening a special tab with Bing automatically. Now I use Safari. I wish Bing would just go away bc I will not use it!!

  9. I have NEVER been frustrated with internet searching before BING. Now I find myself wanting to destroy my computer and keyboard EVERY time I get stuck with a BING search/application. I DON'T want to be redirected to what BING thinks I may be interested in or searching for. I am very specific in my searches and want my specific result. If I click on a video or article, I DO NOT want to be redirected to a list to have to, once again, choose and click one or more times. I don't want BING deciding what I may be searching for based on previous searches either. I don't want a search engine [though many do] tracking my searches. I have liked many other microsoft products. Thank you microsoft for complicating my existence in yet one more area.

Why can't they spend their time, energy and money is something productive and beneficial. Let's try saving the animals, people or the planet.

  17. Thank you all for blogging about your dissatisfaction with our new Decision Engine, Bing. At the inception of the Bing project I assembled together a top notch of team of software engineers, designers and marketers and asked them one simple question: How will you create the biggest piece of crap search engine ever designed?

    Certain that my team would never be able to top Vista as a stratospheric heap of dog bile I was doubtful the project would succeed, but, soon my skepticism waned. With each confusing attempt to get finally rid myself of the Bing search engine that kept hijacking my browser I quickly realized that we had not only created a new dark-age for search technology, but, we had also inadvertently engineered the world's first internet based herpes virus. Try not to scratch at it, you'll only make it worse…

  20. The only reason Bing has a big share in the search engine market is because everyone is scrolling over their pop ups and whether you want to look at it or not it pops up giving them a hit on bing. Bing is not anything special for a search engine and the pop ups are so obnoxious that I am going to quit MSN and move on to another page without this crap!

I absolutely hate the way BING tends to “Take Over” I used to do tour planning using Multimap, cannot get this anymore, every time I try to open Multimaps, BING comes up and produces absolutely useless information. “Shoot The Bastards”, give me back something like Multimaps which works well. BING should be banned from the internet.

  28. Anyone dumb enough to use an MS product when they have a choice deserves everything they get. Sadly companies like MS will (and always have) targetted dumbos because they (wrongly) believe that idiots will always exist. Truth is they enjoyed a heyday while many people where technically niave, but these days they have:
    -Lost the internet to Apache
    -Lost Search to Google
    -Lost label of 'worlds biggest software company' to Google
    -Lost consumer desktop to Apple
    -Never even got into consumer electronics, just slaughtered by apple with such comedy products as the 'Zune' ;D and the 'stupidBox' (threw billions down the pan trying to get this pos into peoples homes in the deluded belief that they could then sell them movies and stuff. Funny.

    Trusth is MS will fail at everything they do (and always have) when presented with a level playing field. The days when a 'computer' store presented you with a choice of basically MS or nothing are now distant history. The days when the software you used was limited by what these stores sold, and what came preinstalled are also over.

    Don't fret friends, this disgrace to the computer industry is deader than dead at the moment. It was killed by the internet, google and then finished off by apple. I say good ridance to bad rubbish!

  32. BING is as informative as a Beaver at an IT convention. It is the MOST FRUSTRATING search engine I have EVER had the displeasure of using!! I was very interested in a particular period in history and BING came up as the search engine. After being redirected about 6 times I totally lost interest. GOOGLE is my search engine and from once bing comes up, I TOTALLY close it and try again. What is the purpose of bing really? To frustrate and discourage people from doing internet research?? Was it an over zealous librarian who invented it!!!??

  56. I hate bing. My SIX YEAR OLD daughter’s picture and personal info were posted on a website. I requested it be removed immediately because my daughter had recently been targeted by a pedophile in an online newssite where an article had been pisyed about her….and the webmaster removed it. I then requested that Google remove the outdated cached page from their index and they did…immediately….after FIVE days of back and forth with Bing Tech Support, they are unable to help because they “prefer to allow their bingbot to rectify these things over time” because They say its important to them that their uses get the most from their searches. Even after explaining my position of the safety of my child, they were not interested in helping me! Kudos to GOOGLE for putting the privacy and safety of a six year first!!!! As for Bing? They have made a loyal Apple consumer out of me!!!

  57. I despise Bing!! You enter one simple search term, and Bing brings up a cluttered mess
    filled with ads and completely irrelevant links. Then, it jams your computer
    full of cookies because you have to click on so many links to find what you are
    actually looking for. I also hate that they bully their way onto your toolbar.
    I don’t know how many times Bing has mysteriously appeared, or become my
    default search engine. Then I have to go through the annoying process of
    removing it and restoring Google. Now they are doing all those commercials
    about how everyone prefers Bing. Sure…what a bunch of marketing BS. Everyone I
    know hates it.

  61. I hate Bing but found that each time I open a blank tab to do a search, Bing is right there in the middle. It’s connected with something called “Sweetpacks” which shows on the page tab. I had already removed Bing from my choice of search engines, and was surprised to see it keep popping up. I thought that somehow it had gotten into my registry so I searched it and found several keys. I deleted them but still it shows up after a computer reboot. I did a search for “Sweetpacks” and nothing came up. Next, I installed the latest version of Firefox browser, and still the damned thing keeps showing up. If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s having something shoved down my throat that I don’t want and didn’t ask for. I hope there is a major rebellion against Microsoft for having done this. Even so, when it does pop up, I still go to Google.

  63. Bing isn’t google, of course. But I genuinely like using it more than I like using Google. Not for relevance, or for its silly features like shopping or facebook friending (which never worked the way they wanted it to), but because it’s not simple. Google has a cleaner layout, but Bing offers up something fresh everyday. The homepage pictures/gifs are very interesting, and a nice way to start browsing. I don’t think Bing could ever match Google, but its a nice alternative. And way better than Yahoo.

  65. “Improvement” is a matter of opinion. Quite honestly, anyone who has to trick someone into using their application is in need of more than improvements, especially if it’s to gain viewers in an untrue matter. It’s worse than winning the presidency by lying with no intent on following through on promises, because at least in voting people knowing post a ballot. BING not only hijacks accounts, but makes it near impossible to get rid of it after hours of searching and applying various remedies. Needless to say, if someone even mentions bing cherries to me I am instantly nauseous now.

    BING is a four-letter word to my vocabulary and many others. Could this be due to their dishonest practices? Are they running for president next year? They could win!

    I first started to hate bing when I was doing a search for a hispanic dictator for a college project and guess what bing decided would be good to show me instead? Porn! That’s right, I did a bing search for a spanish dictator and got porn instead.
    Now, I just opened up my google chrome to explore the web but what is there instead? F****** bing!!!!! Now I’m desperately trying to figure out how to get this disease called bing off my computer.

  68. Bings search engine sucks ass. sometimes I accidentally use explorer and do a search and it will display all these non-relevent results that include a few words related to what i searched for but its always some company trying to get you to buy something. Bing has definitely sold out. Bottom line is google gets the search results i want, bing doesnt. I tried both for the same search result and google had what i wanted at the top, while on bing it had 3 other results, and one of them was a phishing scam. the scam websites appear before the real thing. wtf bing.

  81. Bing does suck. They intrude into every web search with “teasing” search responses when they do barge into your searches. “Would you like to know the answer?” is always the question to the search…”um, no – LIE TO ME!”, should always be the response. The answer or skewed marketing response will be about as truthful. Having a select few search engines to give you answers to search queries is tantamount to radio stations taking payola in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s to play a band’s music. Like a tribute form of tipping, these search giants will only let you see the results that have paid their “tribute” to be seen. The rest of the results are just spam… Welcome to the dis-information age!

Without an internet connection I might add. Those sons a bitches actively hacked me for a good 8 months.

  103. Bing isn’t that bad. Google maps is better. Microsoft is the problem, anyone have Edge? Microsoft takes the users information, email, history, everything and uses it for profit without consent. I have a Samsung laptop and Google forces the user to have an email address linked to Microsoft just to use the computer. Like ok… so I’ll send google and Microsoft demons, real demons from hell. Try to delete this Microsoft. Anyone look at youtube vids? Microsoft and Google have the users preferences and sells it to whomever, not good. Firefox downloads a Google cookie on every startup. Bottom line, there is no privacy, if there ever was. I’m trying to find an older version of Firefox to use, one that doesn’t automatically install a Google cookie. Good luck right. The only way society is going to get rid of corruption is to haunt. Don’t just die, haunt, and haunt every corrupt business/person alive. Eerrrh whaaddya think…..
