Microsoft Bing! goes live...Google Wave...

Microsoft released their follow up to the disappointing MSN Live Search. Bing is pretty much a clone of Google. They have local listings and the map ads don't look as smooth and slick as Google.

They do offer one good feature in the Settings section, you can identify where you are searching from. This is nice because sometimes you need to find a company in another state and in Google you will have to add a geo term on your search term and some local business don't add those geo terms to their sponsored ads. So all in all, if you get tired of Google or want to look at balloons then give Bing! a try. It's not much different from Google. Check it out Here

To put a hole in Microsoft's sail Google announced their new "gmail" tool...thingy..something or other. But it looks like gmail and you will be able to search for stuff and even see all your social media sites. Check out their video: Here
