For those that haven’t heard, Microsoft anounced it’s new search engine, bing.
Some of those links might be a little slow at the moment, but I’d give it some time. Working at ninemsn, I had the opportunity to get a sneak peak at the search engine and I must say I was impressed. For those eager clickers, be advised the home page link is still showing a ‘coming soon’ for us Aussies atm.
The first thought that sprang to my mind when I heard the new name was, “I wonder if searching a term will now be called getting bing-age“. Gamers in the aurdience will recall the term getting bink-age from the counter-strike days, which describes the sound made when you score (or receive) a head shot while wearing a helmet in counter-strike (a near fatal shot).
Let’s hope that bing-age earns it’s place in the search world (in terms of search accuracy/relevance) the same way bink-age applies in the gaming world.
