Bing

Bing is Microsoft's search engine that recently came out to replace MSN. MSN like Yahoo is very cluttered and just not very visually appealing to people. It has to much stuff on it. It is to clunky or overwhelming. It looks tacky. Bing has been streamlined and what I would call "artified". What I mean by this is they made it look visually appealing to people with a picture of nature on the home page with a small menu on the side for some basic features and a very small sign-in, MSN link, Hotmail link, and a Explore button to show you more features. While Yahoo is much more cluttered and overwhelming than Google, Bing is more relaxing and appealing on the eyes than Goggle. 


Bing may look much better than Google, but they don't have as many apps. Bing has kept it to less apps but, the apps they have are to me the most practical and most used. Bing doesn't showcase all their apps; they showcase the most use and you can find their other apps when you hit the Explore button. Also Bing's picture background has facts appear when you hover over it. So Bing I would say is on the opposite side of Google than Yahoo. Bing is very artistic and appealing looking, but Bing compared to Google and Yahoo is not as useful or does not have as many features.
