bingiton

http://www.bingiton.com

this was kind of an interesting exercise

basically microsoft is letting you do a blind comparison of 5 search terms of your choosing between bing and google.

my result was a draw, 3 ties, 1 bing, and 1 google.  an interesting marketing idea to try and jolt people out of their usual habits.  my results weren't astonishing enough, though, to stop my fingers from mindlessly typing google.com

3-0-2 in google's favor for me.

Pretty cool. I still us yahoo a reasonable amount and will probably start to incorporate bing (which I never use). Mainly this is just out of my stubborness to use google though.

not sure if this helps nick but bing actually powers yahoo so it shouldn't be any different for you using bing over yahoo.

Oddly enough it does.

3-1-1 in favor of Google. Plus I use Chrome for a browser so I basically never actually go to a website to search. I just search in the url bar. Really cool idea for marketing though!
