Search engine are not doing search anymore… No search is for small player, now the real thing is to have an evolved engine. Where Wolframalpha offer a computational knowledge engine, Bing offer a decision engine. So far Google can keep being Google fearless ; )
Bing (also known as Kumo) should be publicly available on June 3rd. At least the name is easy to remember :)
You can already get some information on it:
- Behind bing
- Decision engine
I personally think it is a good idea to not compete with Google directly on traditional search, they real do a great job there. Live.com showed to be quite good but did not had any motivational factor to change people habits. Bing, might succeed there, I guess most of the people will be positively surprised by something else than search : )
Enjoy soon,
Ahmet
