Bing! Microsoft’s New Search Engine Is Coming

I’m looking forward to this new offering from Microsoft. One thing is certain - you can’t not know where to try it. It’s www.bing.com. That alone gives them a good chance at snagging some search market share from Google. I’m also interested in figuring out how to maximize it’s use for our clients - now that’s exciting!
