Bing Emulates Google's 411 Service

But How Do the Two Stack Up to One Another?

RE: Bing Emulates Google's 411 Service

First, as a former investor, I am a huge pessimist to anything that Microsoft presents - For once, I would like to see Microsoft INVENT something original and put long term marketing and support behind the product. I was using GOOG 411 about 4 years prior to Microsoft's imitation Bing. Meanwhile, Google continues superiority in Search and Apple just released the $99 iPhone and both are forging ahead, yet again. Microsoft is full of archaic ideas and Steve Ballmer should have been fired long ago...Such as the way of the dinosaur - extinct.

How awesome is traffic

How awesome is traffic reports? That's not on goog 411, right? I can't get live traffic updates on my basic gps, so that's really handy!

Bing

I like fair competition. It promotes inovation. Time will tell!

Personally, with these

Personally, with these available features can really help its users/clients. Well, I'm hoping that I'll be satisfied once I start using their service.

Bing

Now Bing has taken a second position after Google and put Yahoo! on third place

Emulates?

Uh, Live Search 411 existed before Bing 411, and it's been there for awhile. Bing 411 is basically a rebranded Live Search 411, so it's not emulating Google's service.

Exactly what I wanted to say

While it IS a different number, it's not a "new" feature from Microsoft.
