    "Bing is superior to Google? That's positively absurd!" Those were my thoughts when a rabid Binger appeared before me and claimed that I should start using Bing because it is simply superior to the alternatives. The Binger did not manage to convince me that Bing is better than everything else, but I did decide to give Bing a try. Upon entering a few search terms into Bing's search box, I was amazed by how versatile and accurate Bing was (and still is!) to the point where my mouth dropped in astonishment. I am now, as you can imagine, a rabid, frothing Binger.

    Don't believe me? Bing it on, Bing it on, Bing it on!
