Few days back, Google flaunted it's new design to it's 286 Million daily users. Guess what most of them said? It's a copy of Bing, or some even said it's a copy of Yahoo!'s search engine. Bull S***.

Whenever some new product is released, critics compare it to other stuff on the market and just tag them as a copy of this and that. This seriously pisses me off. Remember Apple Vs. Microsoft ten years back? Apple charged Microsoft of copying it's Graphic user interface and the mouse and there was something that Bill Gates quoted over it, that if a car has a steering wheel no company claims it as it's invention. This is what it is all about. Moving forward. No use comparing, because we know as long it's competition companies are going to strive even harder for innovation. You just pick up whats good in front of you and move ahead. This is a whole process or learning, improving, and getting better. I don't get it, why do people just say it's COPIED? Steve-o-phoebia?

Yahoo!, the so called internet giant which is losing its vigor due to immense competition from Google and Bing. If you were following the recent news, you might know that Twitter made few bucks signing a deal with Google and Bing, allowing them to index the tweets. Lately, we also came across the fact that even Yahoo was indexing tweets from twitter, but there was no such deal. Yahoo! was just using the most famous - publicly accessible API (Application Programming Interface). Here's what the news is. Twitter confirmed that they have partnered with Yahoo on their blog. According to this deal, Yahoo will index the public timeline from Twitter, second by second from all over the globe and will show relevant tweets in all their searches and portals. What more? Yahoo will make clients for twitter to make tweets directly from anywhere on the Yahoo! network. It's no surprise that Yahoo still has 600 Million users which is no small figure.

Bing has created a lot of hype in the Blogosphere. I am not adding to it's hype but i am just highlighting one simple feature which while give you a reason to make a shift from Google to Bing. [caption id="attachment_837" align="alignright" width="100" caption="Bing Image Search"][/caption] Google's image search is one of the most famous and oldest image search engines. But now Microsoft's Bing come's to Wack off Google search with it's superior features. Bing Provides users to select image size including wallpapers which Google does not provide. Along with that Bing also provides users to select the type of layout like Square, wide or tall which seems to be missing in Google. Now coming to other features it's the Style Tab where users can select wether they want a Photograph or a Illustration :) This features a very useful one for students! And last one is The People tab where you can select if Bing should show Faces, or head and shoulders. Now Google Really needs to work on it's Image search to provide more features or else Bing is going to take it away!
