Well MS isn't exactly blessed with names but i'm looking forward to see what the service is

Bing?

They should rename it Bling.

I kinda like it. Has a certian ring to it. Like "well just bing it" or "run a bing search" or my fav "I binged it and found this out"

Sounds like death. Like "Vista."

Bing :sarc: sounds like a fail to me.

Microsoft have never been any good at web/search stuff and I just cant see a $100 million ad campaign making the slightest difference.

I like when they keep things simple, like Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, and 7. Though I would have preferred a 2009 or 2010 for the name, rather than 7.

Microsoft needs a new approach. How about before changing the name of very important things, at least have a reason to do so, and even further at least make the new name one that makes sense.

Microsoft does not need to change the name of the search engine but it does need to get people to use it :sarc:

A re-launch of live search as Bing my work but personally I doubt it unless the actual product is better that the competition, (currently Google), People don't use Google because it's called Google, they use it because it finds them what they're searching for.

I wont be using something called Bing lol. What happened with "Kumo"? Bing is simply horrible.

Yes, it reminds me of something I posted yesterday morning.

If it works, I'll probably use it some regardless of the name. If it doesn't work, the name isn't going to help.

Perhaps they want you to say Oh, I've found it (just think about what you might say when you've found something, a word beginning with Bing). :sarc:

Not a very inspiring choice of name, is it? I prefer things to be called by a name which implies what they are. I can understand the word Search being replaced by Hunt, Find, Seek, Look, Trace as these convey the same meaning. Bing, however does not convey any meaning whatsoever. I know that Google isn't an obvious choice for the name of a search engine, but over the years Google and Search have become synonymous terms, and people understand that they mean the same thing (just like Hoover and Vacuum Cleaner).

u use bing, and get the result eventually, then BINGO

 

[Lebon14]

I'm going to "Bing"
*Bing*
Oups! I've rebound to Google!

EDIT

I don't like the MS' search site at all. Bing or Live Search.

 

[Barman58]

I've tried to use Live Search but have found that the results from Google are usually better

I can remember a time when there were lots of search engines, most with specific target content, and then the "mega searches" such as Dogpile came along that made searching easier.

Google was just another of these at the beginning, it's just that the engine they used worked better than the rest and that's why it grew so popular - if Bing finds the stuff I want I'll use it if not I won't

 

[mxosder16]

For some reason if i don't use google i don't feel like i'm getting all the results.
But i'm looking forward to seeing what MS can come up with

if Bing finds the stuff I want I'll use it if not I won't

simple as that

They say the next version after this might be called Crosby.
