Here’s another site whose homepage makes no mention of Normandy:

Going to bail on that one, too?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

No. MSN is just as bad. That's why they call it MSNBC.

Bing?

[mylife]

Thanks.
While I like Googles search capabilities, I to tire of their smarmy attitude.

[Ancient Drive]

just changed my homepage to bing.com

Wow! bing’s image feature loads fast. I’ve just added bing to my task bar for further testing.

Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like they STOLE the foremat from www.Cuil.com and Ixquick Metasearch! www.ixquick.com

[Ancient Drive]

I am deeply grateful to those who fought on that day.

Well comparing results returns on a test search on the singer/songwriter “Leslie Fish” Google returns 27,800 hits, and Bing claims 26,300,000 results.

That doesn’t sound quite right you know, but I’ll consider that as a teething problem. It would be nice to have a usable non-google alternative.

I'm pretty sure that this is my first vanity post.

You could've used Google to figure out that it's not.

I would recommend adding Bing to the “restricted sites” list in your browser, to turn off javascript etc. There is some aggressive data collection going on

I started checking Bing out. So far I like it. Seems quite similar to Google and they are remembering D-Day not Tetris Day.

[Doohickey]

Since you seem to be catching a little flack, let me chime in with a “good post!”. Thanks.

[CodeToad]

Bing at least is honoring D-Day with its front page active image of the landings. You can click on various parts of the image to learn more about D-Day. They even have a link for D-Day history.

Google thinks Tetris is more important today.

I just changed my home page from google to Bing.

Well first of all, thanks for turning me on to the Bing search engine. I just checked it out and I was impressed with the results. Still not on par with Google Search but it definitely shows promise. I look forward to seeing how it progresses as time goes on.

Getting back to the brouhaha over the non D-Day "Google Doodle", I think it is much ado over nothing. Pretty much everybody knows June 6 was the 65th anniversary of D-Day, but how many knew it was also the 25th anniverary of Tetris?

I didn't and when I found out, I thought that was pretty exciting news. I had no idea Tetris had been around that long! Although I do wish I could get back all those hours in my life spent maneuvering falling patterns of blocks into place. Still, it's a fun game and an easy way to pass the time when you are sitting in the waiting room at the dentist office or in a boring conference call at work.

I'm sure the people at Google didn't mean to imply that Tetris is more important than D-Day. It's just that having a D-Day Google Doodle would have been the safe thing to do and the people at Google try not to be so obvious all of the time.

While I certainly haven't forgotten D-Day and never will, I don't think D-Day should have a lifetime monopoly every June 6. Other things happen in this world too. But D-Day was pretty awesome, all those boats, blimps, planes, jeeps and other gear all in one place all at once. Movies and grainy film clips don't do it justice. If I could ever time travel, I would definitely arrange to be on one of those Normandy cliffs at the crack of dawn, June 6, 1944.

I just did a few side by side searches and my small sample suggests that Bing is less left biased than Google.

Great interface too.

Generic Website is real. Google it!

Now I'll have to say, "Generic Website is real. Bing it!"
