Bing is here

[Hell Puppy]

If it starts grabbing share from Google, things will get interesting.

We could see a return to 1998 when there were multiple engines all fighting for dominance. During that time you could be on top with one of the engines while it rains traffic, then wake up one morning and half your traffic is gone because they changed their algorithm. Figure it out again on that engine or their competitor, back on top, rinse repeat.

I used to understand the excite and infoseek algorithms better than half the people working there.

Google or not, I see the Bing algorithm changing at least monthly for a bit. We'll also find out quickly what kinda manual voodoo they have wired in, ala Pagerank, once people start spamming the shit out of it.
