Microsoft Opens Bing Two Days Early (As In, Now) [Microsoft]
Gizmodo — Microsoft's new search engine, Bing, has opened up to the public in a wide, if not total, rollout. It looks pretty good.

T3.com News — Microsoft has popped the lid on its new search engine a few days early. Bing, which wasn’t due to launch until Wednesday, is now ready and available for all your searching needs.   Microsoft has a lot riding on its new search engine – as evidenced by the fact that it’s essentially abandoning its previous search effort, Live Search, in order to develop its new baby. The reason is simple: Microsoft has played second fiddle to Google for too long in the search department. For a while it looked like Yahoo! might give it ...

Bing - This Is The Best Name Money Could Buy?
Futurelawyer — Bing. I try not to make judgments based upon titles or names. However, my first reaction to Microsoft's new Google competitor search engine was : "What? Is the Bing Crosby family exploiting the famous crooner's legend with a first person website?" I know, short, memorable URLs are few and far between, now that millions of them are taken.
