I think I just lost a little respect for Hub-Spot because of this.

The Office FTW!

It wasn't funny for me... because I'm pretty sure the reason MS rebuilt their seeking engine by using Fast ESP.

Funny, I just did a search on "Bing" for "Hub Spot" and they didn't say anything mean you you.

thats true though, live search wasnt doing so well so microsoft just thought "okay lets bing it up"

Nice use of "The Office." Never pass up the opportunity for office humor.

I'd bing that!

Let's see if Microsoft can keep in the open market. I doubt Bing will ever amount to much. Microsoft only knows how to monopolize. They aren't innovators and I think this will flounder.

This comic is hilarious. I do love Bing though. I'm not a Microsoft advocate (Mac person here), but I do think a lot of tech/marketing people are accessing Bing with some serious baggage. If it were any other company unveiling an engine like this, I'm sure the reception would be warmer. It's kind of like watching a movie with a bunch of movie critics who hated the director. Hmmm I wonder if their reviews would be skewed.
For the most part though, all the non-techie/non-marketing people I know who have used Bing love it and think it's pretty cool. In terms of usefulness, I always win people over when I ask them to search "who is Barack Obama" on Google, Ask and Bing. Bing definitely organizes the results the best.

The cartoon? eh.
I like what I've seen of Bing,however. And their 60 second ad I saw Tuesday night (run during The Daily Show)was B*R*I*L*L*I*A*N*T!
