First Impressions: Blah-da Bing

It appears as though Microsoft took Bing out of the oven before the kitchen timer rang. As of Day 1, its travel section doesn't top Yahoo's; its shopping section features rather bland products; and its page arrangement is inconsistent. If this is what Microsoft is taking to battle against Yahoo and Google, it's got a lot of tuning up to do.

Like many others, I was salivating at the thought of getting my hands on a new, faster search engine, and so I was impatiently waiting for Wednesday when Microsoft was scheduled to unleash Bing on the world.

When it made Bing available on Monday instead, I leaped on the application and began running searches on the Web with little cries of joy.
