We’re not.

Because, our “Bing” means more than just “eureka!” It’s part of our history.

Here’s some Bing trivia for your Thursday:

Our agency was established in 1979 by Bob Bingenheimer. At that time, the agency was known as Bingenheimer Design. Bob “retired” in 2000 and sold the agency to an employee, Nick Gaskins. As the new owner, Nick shortened the name to Bing.

I constantly mistype weather making it weatehr or something similar, when I search for the word it suggests weather even if it was mistyped in the search results but if you could show on the suggested pull down list correctly spelled words if its not a recognized word to help me catch the typos before waiting on the search you could speed up my search time.

When a subject is typed into the search space and the enter is hit, one does not like to have to do it twice becuae someone programed the computer to make it happen that way. I could care less about the first group of crap that po’s up, I want the subject and do not want to have to hunt for it. That is why I do not, and my friends who come over and use my computers will no longer do so. Thank you so much for that one. Try Harder Please.

nice job, found out about this site in business week, search brings up different sites that I really do appreciate you finding for me, nice to see microsoft kicking some butt.

I attempted to use Bing to do two simple searches. First, the names and contact information of Motels, Hotels etc in Gladwin, Michigan. It produce what I would call garbage information. One of the facilities that it came up with is for sale and is not even open. Second, I asked for Multuple Sclerosis and known recognized treatments. I was looking to see if you had the material that i could get from my local library. The library has access to articles and medical journals from all over the world. The material that I saw listed did not include very much data from outside the United States. The British have a great deal of data and studies done over the past 50 years that do not even mention. Some of it includes studies done on things like Greek Extra Virgin Olive oil done in the 1960’s which turned out to be quite effective. Best of luck with the site. It appears today that some tweeking is in order.

Hello, I just want to thank you all for creating an awesome online seach engine – bing.com. I have been a big Google fan for many years, but ever since I discovered bing.com a while ago I have transfered over – making Bing my #1 online seach engine. I discovered bing.com through a friend and now I have all my family, friends, and co-workers hooked on this site. It has gotten so bad at work that now we all have it as our Internet homepage. I love everything about Bing. It is easy, quick, better results, and has other cool features, which include the \”Popular now\” links. And the best thing about it all – I can access it at any time and still get great results, without error messages. As a student and as an employee, I definately appreciate this site. Great job guys! I will definately speak to my friends at school and work to give Bing.com a try. But I am most convinced that once they try it – they too will be hooked. Keep up the good job. I look forward to this site\’s future success. As I tell my friends, GO BING.COM!!

I’m a programmer and the search on your site doesn’t work. I typed in ‘What color is a blue car’ and the results were complicated and didn’t make sense.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE BING TOOL BAR. I HAVE TRIED 3 TIMES

A broad spectrum of suggestions can spark some interesting conversations around the water cooler. Join the crowd and let us know what YOU think of the new search engine too.

To stay competitive with Google’s dominance in online searching, Microsoft has positioned Bing as a “Decision Engine”.

We have all heard when you need to look something up, to “google” it. In fact, google was added a few years ago to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as a verb. Interesting point #1: I wonder why it’s not included as a noun too – isn’t a google a one with a hundred zeros after it? Interesting point #2: I see that Microsoft is already trying to verb-ilize ‘bing’ also.

Microsoft’s marketing gurus hope that Bing will evoke the same feeling as the sound – the ringing of a bell that signals the eureka moment when a search leads to an answer. The name is meant to conjure “the sound of found” as Bing helps people solve complex tasks.

Bing (the other one) seems to be focusing on searches related to:

• Making a purchase decision
• Planning a trip
• Researching a health condition
• Finding a local business

A “cherries-to-cherries” comparison of that Bing and this Bing shows a few similarities:

• We help clients make marketing decisions that meet their needs and fit their budget.
• We assist you with team outings. Yellow Springs is great place for a trip.
• We provide communication audits that help determine the health of your marketing efforts.
• We can localize your message in the new sense of the word – through social media communities.

So there you have it. The skinny about the Bing that’s been around for years, and that new startup from Microsoft…

Shakespeare wrote, “O Lord, that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.”

In the spirit of appreciating what lends life to Bing, the staff would like to take a brief moment to say Thank You to all of our readers, clients, and supporters out there. We are thankful for you.

And:

• Selby – I’m thankful that I know how to read and that I don’t have any ailments or other issues that prevent me from reading or reading well!
• Nick – I’m thankful for chaos, because it makes us think and it means we’re not stagnant. And I’m thankful to work with people who can weather chaos. Oh, and I’m thankful for low gas prices.
• Todd – Our health and our family.
• Laura – I am thankful for time and the opportunity that it gives me to enjoy my friends and family.
• Cris – my health.
• Roger – I am thankful for the blessings of health, family, being a citizen of the United States (even with the issues we face), those in the military who protect and defend this nation, the abilities I have been given, the experience of life, and for all those I count ‘friends’.
• Linda – I am thankful that I have a family that likes to spend the holiday with me.
• Joe – I’m thankful to be alive and healthy with the love and support from my family. Plus broadband internet, taste buds, and soccer.
• Joyce – I’m thankful for the love and support of my family and friends … and … coffee!

• Melissa – I’m thankful for family, for laughter, for opportunities to travel, for chocolate, and for patience (not mine – other people’s!).

What are you thankful for?

So he’s on a kick to get manufacturers to consider the environment AND our mental health by using friendlier and fewer materials in packaging. Early wins in this category have their own page. Obviously, this is something the design community can get behind by steering clients in new directions.
