Bing or Google – It’s your decision. I’ve made mine

Whoever came up with this site must be applauded for their efforts. It makes it easier for me to compare results!

Bing is all over the news and I am loving it more and more.

Just look at the Microsoft Translator work in Bing. Awesome. Same query in Google – fail!

I really loved the translation service. Too good!

Google, get real! Bing wins again. I am no where near Brisbane, CA! What’s up with Google? Can’t geo locate me?

Windows Live: IM Control

Have you seen this yet?

The Windows Live™ Messenger IM Control lets people on the Web reach you in Messenger by showing your Messenger status on your web site, blog, or social networking profile.

The IM Control runs in the browser and lets site visitors message you without installing Messenger first.

It is supported in IE6, IE7, and FireFox 2.0 on Windows and FireFox 2.0 on Mac OS and supports 32 languages.

I am going to leave this on my blog for few days, ping me and say hello!
