I
welcomed the arrival of bing, Microsoft's "answer" to GOOGLE
search. Not because GOOGLE is flawed, but because it's so good
that everyone uses it. That could be a problem in this
information age, if it became enthralled by one ideology, and that's
precisely what I see happening. Moveon.org and Kos mastered the
art of manipulating which stories appear at the top of search results,
and Google is top heavy with lefties. Blah-blah, that aside, Blind Search
asks for your input, and delivers the results from Google, Bing, and
Yahoo, in changing column order. Pick the list that best
satisfies you, and the search engine is revealed.
To test it, I used "ACORN." I'm guessing here, but that guess is
that 95% of all ACORN queries are looking for information concerning
charges of improper voter registrations, or other criminality. Just my
opinion. My results were:
- Yahoo yielded two hits, Inside Obama's Acorn by Stanley Kurtz on National Review Online, and Rotten ACORN :: Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. But they appeared 6th and 7th in the list of results.
- Bing produced one, the Stanley Kurtz article, but as the seventh entry.
- Google - No negative ACORN hits in the displayed list.
In real life, I use the GROOWE search bar
that lets me scroll through all search engines. Bing has been the
default for 10 days, or so, with Google option two. Bing claims
to make intelligent choices, and in practice it reminds me of
letting TIVO guess what to record for you. Poop. I find myself
going to Google about half the time, but that may be because I'm not
that comfortable with Bing's interface and display yet. See what
you think. I plucked this off Drudge, but haven't read it.

Those rat-bastards ought to be scared. Gates hasn't crushed any nuts since El-Reno crushed his. He's due.

ReplyDeleteI'm living in my own private hell at the moment. Yes, it involves a woman. I haven't had hard liquor in a couple of months. Things should be back to normal before football season starts.

I'm no Google fan. They are too antiAmerican for me. I use them on rare occasions, but they are indeed rare. Yahoo is getting under my skin. about half of every search result I click on sends me to some crappy advertisment page rather then the one I selected. That pisses me. Bing lacks depth, but is improving.
ReplyDeleteGroowe? I'll try anything once, many things twice, and if it involves a great looking, single, available woman, I'm all for it.
I Googled Bing.

I searched for "Her Filthyness".
ReplyDeleteColumn A: Two hits which were misses (No mention of Hillary.)
Column B: Six Hits, only one was about Her Filthyness.
Column C: Eight hits, four on target. One from C&S (#3), One for a YouTube Hillary Ad (#4), One from SondraK (#6) and one from Think Progress (#7).
Results were:
Column A was Google (What a surprise!)
Column B was Bing and
Column C was Yahoo.
Now, if you were to spell filthiness correctly, you mostly get lots of references about some bible verse. Yahoo wins again with two correct hits; one at Terpsboy.com and, oddly, one at US News & World Reports where the article doesn't mention the terms but nevertheless is about Hillary. Bing only had one hit, a different terpsboy post and Google, as usual, couldn't find anything at all.

I use ixquick.com, which uses all the major search engines except for Gargle, uh, I mean Google.
