First it was MSN, then Live, now Bing. What’s next is what I want to know and also why they’re own add url link doesn’t even come up in their own search.

If search was brand-driven rather than results driven, Google would never had a chance. Google as a name functions but it by no means carries the service. People only know it and what it refers to because the search service worked.

And my-oh-my that logo would suck. Hard. Like, whoa.

[...] もし検索事業を入手できるのならMicrosoftが金に糸目はつけないことは確かだ。BallmerはMicrosoft独自の全く新しい検索エンジン（部内ではKumoと呼ばれているが、おそらくBingと命名されるはず）を今日発表する予定だ。MicrosoftはこのKumo/BingプロジェクトのPRキャンペーンのためだけになんと$80M（8千万ドル）から$100M（1億ドル）を使う予定だという。そういうわけだから、検索事業の提携では両社のデータの共有方法が難問となるはずだ。だから今日すぐに何か発表が行われる可能性はないだろう。しかし、両者が話し合いを再開していることは事実と思われる。 CrunchBase Information Steve Ballmer Carol Bartz Yahoo!

The current search war is over, and yes, Google won, big time!
Microsoct with Bing or whatever should focus on next generation search which will be done on different platforms, with different UI, where social is mandatory and so on. Take a look at John Dvorak PC Mag from yesterday–But It’s Nearly Google
Microsoft’s unfortunate copycat strategies will not result in anything other than a weak copy of Google, with some visual tweaks to make the presentation look better. Redmond will never take a chance on something radical. My advice to the company is to try to understand what’s going on at Collarity, where it’s easy to see what a new idea for search is all about. I’m actually kind of surprised that one of the big three hasn’t already made Collarity’s developers an offer they could not refuse.

Are you really as clueless as you sound? Even if you put aside Windows b/c you claim it was successful only because of sneaky dealings you seem to forget….

Exchange – a billion dollars business
Windows Server – multi-billion dollar business
SQL Server – multi-billion dollar business
SharePoint – a billion dollar business

The list goes on. If that’s failure, I want some of it.

You’re making that assuming that after the fact.

“I need you to Xerox this.”
“Do you have a Kleenex?”

If a brand gets established, it will sound natural to you unless the name is terrible.

Even ‘Shamwow’ with the word ‘Sham’ right in the brand picked up steam.

Why does search need to be a “brand”? Microsoft is already a brand, all their search tools need to do is find stuff, and find it well.

Live Search has had a pretty comprehensive API for a few years already. Supports JSON, SOAP, and REST-based XML, and provides means for you to monetize your application using the search API.

I’m pretty sure that will be carried over to Bing as well.
