I "roadtested" Bing by giving them the same words/topics I was looking for that I did with the big "G" and they always had places to go that Google did not. I also like their pic of the day!

they make you go through Facebook. I don't like being forced to log on to Facebook in order to do something else. And it seems to be something that is 'trending'.

Initially, I really liked the way Bing looked, so I am disappointed.

I don't have facebook.
I tend to use google still though, but haven't had that problem with Bing.
Then again, I never look at anything "trending".

And yes, I am still blaming FB for the slow down of the internet due to connectivity and the code they propagate throughout the whole WWW.

It's a matter of principle. Should it prove sufficiently inferior, I will switch again because I'm not a particularly principled person.
