Watch: Bing Goes the Bloodsucker Route

Creature of the Night Sells Microsoft's "Decision Engine"

24 comments Wednesday, December 2, 2009

Microsoft is either taking the holiday marketing approach or the Twilight/Vampire trend approach with its latest commercial. The title is Bing: Vampire Decision Engine.

The company uploaded the new commercial to its (Google-owned) YouTube channel. Accompanying the video is a short description:

"When you're looking for a restaurant that is family friendly, romantic, or maybe something with an otherworldly atmosphere, use Bing's reviews to stop searching and start deciding."

You also may be seeing this ad on a television near you.

What do you think of the latest Bing commercial? Is it good or does it "suck"? Ah Ah. (That was supposed to be the Count). Share your thoughts here.

Microsoft tries to bring

Microsoft tries to bring some attention to Bing, but I think there is not enough difference yet why should someone use Bing instead of Google. And I think Bing is much less relevant than Google.

96%

96% of our traffic, buyers find us via Google.. only 2% are Bing and 1% is Yahoo then MSN.

I'm good with this, it does not make any sense to me that Bing is not producing anything like Google can for us.. it's actually a head scratcher why we are so popular on the web via Google and the search results on Bing are just so skewed it's not something I should have to fix!

I'm not impressed at all.
