Do You Bing?

I like the new interface and have always liked the heavy weight their algorithm carries for navigational searches. If you are looking for a company or domain it will be at the top of the Bing SERP's.

I just think the easter eggs on the home page are a waste of time. People use search engines to find information, book travel, buy stuff. I think very few folks will stop and mouse over the little boxes to get facts about the picture on the home page.

The little synopsis of the page and its links on the right of the snippet does seem to do a good job of identifying the page content too. This can lead to a reduction in bounce by random confused surfers but on the downside can prevent a click if the synopsis isn't targeted.

I wish Google analytics, AWStats, and the rest would get Bing integrated as a search engine soon so the keyphrases will be recorded again. Hopefully web hosts will quickly incorporate the changes throughout the web with no delay.

So, do you Bing?

I like Bing. It's better than Google in some ways. I guess its still a secret since few use the search engine. So whats a decision engine?
