Bing and Google Side by Side

Some of you may have seen a few of the slick new ads that have been touting Microsoft's Bing as a search alternative to Google. Or maybe you haven't. You are the ones asking, "What the heck is a Bing?"

Now I can't speak for everyone, but when I think "search engine," Google comes to mind. In fact, "googling" has become synonymous with searching to many people, so it will take a lot more than slick commercials to persuade me to make the switch.

However, I'm always open to things that might make searching easier, but it can be tedious trying to compare search engines using multiple windows and switching back and forth. Luckily for us, there's a site made specifically for that: Bing-vs-Google. Bing-vs-Google allows you to enter your search query into a single box and then splits the screen with Bing search results on the left, and Google search results on the right, allowing you to judge the sites side by side.

Similar sites include Bingle and BingandGoogle.
