I hate to admin it, BUT...
 
There are a lot of cool features on Bing I'm really starting to like over Google.
Their maps and travel are just a couple off the top.

:(

I've been hooked to Google for years, but I'm really starting to like Bing.

You know, I've been using live.com/maps, or bing.com/maps for a long time now and the birdseye feature in particular to see real images of properties etc. They've recently "updated" that and the new one kinda sucks now.

Used to be if you were on birdseye view and rotated the map from lets say South to East and there was no East view available, it'd just tell you. NOW it reverts to Ariel view, zoomed way the fuck out, and you cant just go back to where you were without starting the whole process again. It was a downgrade that I hope they repair, because it wasn't broke before and now it is.

I have just heard that they are partnering with some newspapers. If you want to read the newspapers online you have to use Bing. I am in the UK so don't know if they are doing that in the US also?

Even broken it's better than Google's map.
I search for properties all the time and Bing is by far the best way to do it now.

heh, yep I've looked for years on them all. Bing is better, I'm just saying they stepped backwards with the recent remodel of it thats all. If there's simply no photo of East or West, dont kick me out, just tell me.

Havent you noticed that yet? I have an old browser so I guess it could be incompatible, although I get no warning.

Yeah, they are in preliminary talks with Rupert Murdoch and other large publishers. They are offering to pay publishers to deindex from Google and index exclusively with Bing. Interesting strategy. Content is king:thumbsup

MS could in theory go right down Alexa and pay off everyone. Google couldn't have seen this one coming.
