Search engines – where would we be without them?
It would be pretty difficult to get around the Web and find what needs to be found without those trusty little crawlers. Grizzled Internet veterans like me still remember the days of HotBot, Alta Vista, Lycos, and Ask Jeeves. Even before that, I have vague recollection of using AOL’s self-contained Prodigy service for homework assignments.
But these days, our choice really just boils down to the two heavyweights, Google and Bing. And Bing has recently made a heavy marketing push with its Bing It On campaign, which invites a side-by side comparison of the two search engines.
So all of this raises the question: which one is really better? I decided to take a good look and find out.
