Another annoying Microsoft Ad

[pasithea]

Ah Microsoft and their 'decision engine'.

bing.com for the intellectually incurious! Don't waste your time reading wikipedia entries and gaining knowledge. You want to be a good consumer. BING!

It's microsoft's new search engine.

It's rebadged Google output. It does nothing that Google doesn't do. There's no 'decision engine'. Unless, of course, you're not looking for something specific.

I would seriously doubt that it's algorithm is as effective as google's at this point, they have nearly a decade of user data to mine, which is why no matter what gibberish I type into the google search bar it always asks me "Did you mean ..." and it's fucking right, that is what I meant. Yeah, the term "decision engine" is of course nothing but pure marketing pap.

No, literally. Go check them out. You'll get the same ads, the same output, plus some ads. There's a minor difference on spelling errors and output... But looks just like Google licensed product for use in other systems.

FOAFing

It looks more like Mahalo (http://www.mahalo.com/) to me.

See, why do they bother? They already had one perfectly serviceable for passing up in favour of Google.

Then again, it'll be nice to have another one around in case Google ever implodes....

I'm sorry, who had what that was better than google?
