I agree. But people are brainwashed by google, they don't know it. For instance, youtube has changed because of bing videos (offering videos from other repositories, and changing the interface), streetview is copying photosynth, and the list goes on...
but tech'journalists' are most of the time google or apple fanboys. just check the google ad$ ;-)

good comment. its true that people are talking very high about Google. Even googles alogorithm itself preventing publishers to add out bound links. How will you give outbound links. it forces the publishers to put no-follow in the anchors. if the search engine is good enough to ignore the outbound links why the publishers have to put no-follow on that.
this is just a small point. the list goes on. I am waiting for a good search engine which is inteligient enough to differenicat a good content from the rest. I dont know why all the search engines are forcing the publishers rather than improving their algorthm. Its time for microsoft to take the web search and make it publisher, and user friendly. rather than concentrating on speed and speed.

Youtube did add some features after bing was released... but who says that they would not release those features even if bing mas not there. Google is contantly improving their apps. Gmail was in beta for more than 4 years... are you also going to say that all their improvements to gmail were just a response to hotmail and yahoo mail?

Problem with that is that Bing really isn't all that better than Google. Bing claims to be new, the first of it's kind... But that's just a silly marketing gimmick that many people have fallen for. The results are almost identical to Google, so at most this means Microsoft has just 'caught up' to Google. Google seems to always be a step ahead. We've had google, and it's advanced search results for like a decade... MS is only just now getting this? lol

"It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions."
Google works on these issues on a daily basis, it's not a big deal imo. We see algo changes all the time, this will be just one of the many to come. Results are pretty similar to current from my end and can't deny that Google has been adding new dimensions to search already.

Frankly, I don't like this new google search mainly because I'll have to find another way of SEO for the website. Right now (on the "old" google) our site comes up on the top of page 2 of the search results when entering the search "endoscopy" - and it's our main landing page, along with the google maps link to our address.
With the "new" google, we're buried on the 16th page of results, and it's one of our subdivisions (our "Veterinary Division" subfolder at "/vet").
I haven't done much SEO other than trying to put as many relevant keywords on the page as well as in the title (i.e.: "endoscopy") and it has worked for us so far. What will be the SEO for this new google search? What will get our main page back up to page 1 or 2 of the search results again?

To be perfectly honest here's my $0.02:
People who switched to Bing most likely switched because it looked different and took a unique approach to search. If you searched for "Hypoglicemia" it'll give you a "Bing Article" about it. If you search for plane tickets, it can help you decide when and where to buy. The layout is different and some people may prefer it.
Now whether any of that is useful is of course up to the individual. However, if Bing really has started to steal market share from Google then clearly some people do prefer these features over Google's.
So if Google wants to win these people back...they can't simply upgrade the backend to make results better. Yes, at the end of the day results are what matter. But to regular Joe who switched to Bing in July 2009, once the "entirely new Google" comes out in, say, February 2010....he'll be expecting it to do what Bing does and more. And honestly, I think in order to do what Bing does (and more), Google would need a UI change.
Now of course I realize that a UI change is dangerous and I obviously know why they wouldn't want to do it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Right? Well, yes. If I was in charge of google I would probably keep my current UI as to not scare off most users. Afterall, not that many people have moved on to Bing. So losing them is not as bad as scaring off the rest of the users.
With that said, if Bing does keep getting more and more users, then it does become increasingly more important to make some sort of big visual change. Something everyone will notice, not just nerds.
So in conclusion: the changes are welcome and good, but at the moment they will not bring back any "converted" users who started using Bing.

I agree with OkinSama, it is the marketing. I am an avid Google Search user but I like to try new things too. I started using Bing recently as I wanted to see the the claims from Microsoft for myself. In my many searches in the last week or so showed me that I cannot find some things on Bing that appear in the top results on Google. I think that Bing needs a little more time to build up their index but I have not found more accuracy in the search either.

Anyone thinking this isn't a reaction to Bing isn't being realistic. It's good for the internet to have Google being forced in a corner to update it's popular, however aging, search system. I hope this little Bing/Google (and Facebook) spat keeps up as it breeds innovation versus the last few years of neglect.
Hell, hopefully we get some better sorted, hyper-relevant, real-time, semi-semantic web results from Google out of this which will force Bing to keep pushing their innovation, etc, etc.

Does it REALLY make a difference that you get a result in 0.12 seconds vs 0.25 seconds? Really? One tenth of a second vs two tenths? Give me a flipping break. Are we that hung up on time? All I am interested is if I can find what I want when I want to and this seems no better. In fact over SEO'd black hat sites are ranking better so far.

I tried Bing shortly before writing this and my search results just brought me an entire first page of Wiki/dictionary/overall irrelevant links whereas the same search in Google brings me exactly what I'm looking for. I guess there's a reason why Google has become something second-nature to me and, I think, many others due to its accuracy and speed. I don't even think of going somewhere else to find something anymore... I just Google it. Writing this now the actual name 'Google' seems foreign because I simply don't go anywhere else to find something on the net.
