Micro$oft's new search - Bing
First impression it’s google with a nice picture as background. Aftering testing it for a while it does seem faster to me and it actually looks much more comfy than MSN.com. Though at this point I don’t see a reason to have a Maldives picture or what on a search engine front?

Hi, what you are saying is true. Bing actually rocks! Its more or less better than google but truly addictive, as if it understands how we want our results

You may not see a reason, but people from Maldives will. Or nearby. Or India. Or snooty Euros. Or nice Euros.
The point is not to impress us Americans, really–except for the few mavens that care about our global image. The point is to impress the rest of the world that they’re included in this whole internet thing. Microsoft is targeting the sectors that before have not seriously been targeted except through proxy, and it’s WORKING.
