Dear Bing – Where is “John Wilson”?
Currently, I bounce around the top of the Google search results. Sometimes one or two, sometimes at the bottom, but since mid last year I’ve always been on page one of the number one search engine in the world when searching for “John Wilson”.
Tonight, a friend of mine saw a commercial for Bing - Microsoft’s new search engine. I was tweaking the new design of my blog and thought I should search “John Wilson” to see where I was. PAGE TWO! This begs the question – how could the number one blog in the world get it right and Bing get it wrong?
Great question. I was playing around with Bing and searched the word “search”. You’d think (at least if I was Product Manager) that Bing would be the number one result. Not so:
Where is Bing? Or Google?
Yahoo? Dogpile (I didn’t even know they still existed)? AOL? Seriously?
I thought this was weird until I ran the same search at Google…
Where is Google, Google?
Where is Product Management? This is either an example of the most pure product management or the silliest thing I’ve seen.
I use Bing and Google whenever i want to find something on the internet. I think that both search engines are very good. “
