So far as I know...Google
So far as I know...Google has had a safe-search option in its image search for a while...all they have done now is to make it much much easier to toggle from one setting to another.
Bing is great, but come on...give credit where credit is due.
Bing Cashback
I've enjoyed shopping with Bing Casback! Bought a pair of boots from Shoemall.com for $99.95 and received $18.99 cashback from Bing. Not only that I even returned the boots because the fit was not quite right.
Competition is good.
Competition is good and it is about time somebody stood seriously to Google. Expect less adwords/adsense accounts banned and better behavior from Google to its users. They are gonna need every penny.
Google is gonna be our b***** now. LOL! Now we tell Google to sit on that chair and not get up 'till we say so...
Google is scared.
Google boys are scared. Now they want to take on Microsoft with a new OS to show they have nothing to worry about. It will fail just like many of their products. Google is a Jack of all trades, master of none. Google will be history within the next 5 years. Twitter and Facebook alone could send them packing.
Bing
I don't know what the difference in their searching algorithms are, but in every side by side search test between google and bing, I find bing shows me better results and more of them. As everyone knows, any random search topic sent to google is likely to give you a hand full of decent pages at the top, but are often mixed together with irrelevant hits, which only gets worse as you continue to look down the page (i never go to the second page of results). Bing on the other hand gives me all the relevant pages google gave me, plus several others that were buried with the junk in the google search that I had not seen before. I often find that with bing (unlike google) I don't have to spend nearly as much time trying to reword my search to get relevant information.

Bing is Better!
One of the things I've noticed about Bing users is that they are of a higher quality and they converter better. They don't seem to be the "Hop, Skip, and Jump" kind of surfers. They give my sites a chance to present themselves, they are more engaged with the site and they converter MUCH better.
The bounce rate from these folks is much lower as well.
Sure Google sends me more traffic but I would much rather have the Bing (and Yahoo) users as they are interested in what I have to say and just seem more mature.
JMHO...
Images
I wish Google would do the preloaded images all on one page similar to Bing. I like not having to click through page after page... just scroll down while the images load automatically. Is there a reason why Google would NOT do this?

Bing
I think Bing is fantastic, i have to admit i sceptical at first but having used it regularly and seen the traffic it drives to my sites.. i think it's great.
Plus anything that shakes that pedastal google has placed itself on is in my opinion a damned good thing.
Definitely, any competition
Definitely, any competition no matter how small makes you strive for the better.
Google is taking control of
Google is taking control of global communications, once it becomes self aware we're all f'd in the a.
I've seen this before with SkyNet
I have been saying this
I have been saying this since Bing came out. We should thank Bing for all the changes we see in Google. Its about time someone gave them some competition. Google has an interesting marketing plan to combat Bing. They simply have been issuing changes like crazy to try and keep in the headlines. This keeps their name in the headlines and keep people seeing their name.
Although not a serious
Although not a serious contender yet, it definitly bodes well for the future. My site still isn't ranked by google yet but Bing has it second top of page 1.
competition is good
"The entire search industry can benefit."
That statement is probably the most important part of this whole "competition". Having a dominant leader in the industry does not seem to hold a very inspiring future for the business and the users who rely on search.
Not everything that these engines shuttle out is going to be original or serve a different purpose from its competitors, but every search engine has the opportunity at some point to bring something new to the table. Innovation is always the goal. If something like Google feeling a little left out as far as recognition and lights a fire under neath to improve a service which still has tons of room to grow - then so be it.
As pointed out here, Google realizes it has competition so supposedly they are not resting on their hefty lead. You have to figure Bing, Yahoo on down to lesser known searches like eZanga.com are always a few meaningful clicks away from turning the tide in the long run. Competition will make everyone better.
