Microsoft was kind enough to send us a few boxes of Bing stickers (we requested them). We don’t have enough surface area on our laptops, walls, floors, dogs, etc. to use them all, so if you want a couple, they’re all yours. Just send us a self addressed stamped envelope and we’ll put a few in the mail back to you.
Send those envelopes to TechCrunch, PO Box 638, Menlo Park, CA 94026.
If you want, send us one of your startup stickers to that address, to. We’ll force the interns to put them on their laptops and stand in front of the CrunchCam with it.
Here’s one on the back of the last generation CrunchPad prototype:
uh oh crunch pad
Will be sending my envelope as soon as possible. International shipping to Australia? Hope so.
as long as you put enough stamps on the return envelope I don’t care where you live. not sure where you’ll get U.S. stamps though.
Check the internet.
From stamps.com
Uhh… could you tell us the size so we know what kind of envelope to send?
Use an International Reply Coupon (see http://en.wikip...al_reply_coupon for details) for this purpose. That’s exactly what it’s designed for.
That said, it might be faster/cheaper just to write to Microsoft Australia and ask them for a couple.
(Why you’d WANT one, I’m not sure, but I hope this helps!)
awesome. Dan the intern is actually working away on the crunchcam. good intern.

Teachers pet. FYI I saw him slide the desk over to be in perfect line with the camera….just sayin
how well do these adhere to Mac products ?
every time i put one on my macbook it just slipped right off. odd.
Are they waterproof?
don’t know.
Sort of. What are you thinking about using it for?
never ask that. it’s just playing into his hand. trust me, young intern. you don’t want to know.
hehe I lold.
No thanks, I’m good. Do you have any Google stickers? Or TechCrunch stickers for that matter?
no, but we can cross out Bing and write TechCrunch if you like.
I’d pay for that.
mike
why are you doing this….why give the pr to bing and msft like they need it…for gods sake write about how a stupid program called vista was released from msft…like steve b really gives a crap about tech and software in general.
best,
lance
well, i like bing. I’m trying it out on my firefox search bar for a while to see if it sticks. and i wanted a sticker. things went from there.
Microsoft should hire William Shatner to do a commercial hamming it up and saying, “Bing me up, Scotty.”
FYI stamps are like 50 cents apiece at 711.
i’m pretty sure you can also buy them at the post office.
They mark up stamps at 711?
Do I want a Bing sticker? No, can’t say that I would be caught anywhere in public with such a tragically unhip moniker on my personal space.
we can’t have you be at anything less than full hipness. totally understand.
While I’m not especially interested in “Bing! You are now free to move about the country” stickers, I would like to make an observation.
Mr. Arrington, you are one of the few big bloggers left who still makes an obvious effort to read & respond to comments. It’s noticed. It’s appreciated. Way to set a good example. (Yes, I just said that.)
That’s awesome – great marketing play for MSFT and the intern gets to put ’supply chain optimization’, ‘product marketing’ down on his resume.
Mike, get rid of those screws at the bottom of Crunchpad. They look ugly.
ok
no
When’s the expected lawsuit coming from the Bing Crosby estate? Will there be a trendy blog called Bing-Bing soon? Is there a highly intelligent search engine called Bong that has absolutely no motivation to give your search query an answer any time soon? Do I need TP for my Binghole? I’m done.
Too big and too lame besides.
People will probably laugh at you when you show one off on your car or something. They’re just not cool enough to show off… yet! Maybe MS’s $100M campaign will change that… who knows.
BTW, Look at this for “bing” and “bung”… LOL: http://tracksui...-for-your-vlog/
put one to ballmer’s forehead

“If you want, send us one of your startup stickers to that address, to. We’ll force the interns to put them on their laptops and stand in front of the CrunchCam with it.”
Is this for real?
i don’t know yet.
You had my hopes up for a minute there. Was going to get AppStruck.com stickers printed tomorrow.
I’ll send you a few stickers. Can you make an intern wear it on his forehead all day?
Can you guys, writers, interns, show off your laptops, the stickers you have on, etc? Would also like to see what hardware you guys prefer – was interesting reading that MG uses a 13 inch macbook for all the writing he does.
we’re pretty much all mac except heather, who just really likes spreadsheets and doesn’t believe Office on Mac really exists. we also have a Microsoft surface computer in the office and a bunch of test windows machines.
I know you’re all mac. I literally wanna see your computer, what stickers you decide to put on, or whatever personal touches (pawprints from laguna?) Or if you don’t personalize, you prefer 15 inch? You going to upgrade after today’s announcement? Or do you find what you have necessary for what you do mostly – writing?
don’t be creepy.
i’m a PC! typing this from the jolicloud powered netbook though
damnit, i always forget about techcrunch europe.
I’m a PC and I rock!
“I’m a PC, and I got a rock!”
FTFY
That’s nice of tech crunch to give their readers stickers of Bing,since there is more hype about Bing ,everyone wants to have one sticker on their desktop or laptop me want’s one but it is difficult for me to get them here to India from you.
awesome: http://twitter....uses/2086702005
I’m not sure Bartz would approve.
They need something to stick on their dartboard, don’t they?
Maybe it’s a prank. Wallpaper someone’s office with Bing stickers…
Wha’t next? Bing the default homepage on the CrunchPad?
Anyway, if you like the Bing feel and the Google results with some extra goodies, try this:

Here’s the obvious question nobody asked.
Can they fit in a regular letter envelope or will we need something bigger?
Here’s the obvious answer. Send the biggest envelope you can so you can get more stickers.
Yes but I’m a lazy ass and I only have regular letter envelopes.
How big are the stickers? I would like to know how big a self-addressed envelope to send.
How much would it cost to send one to Sweden?
If I pay for it, will you also send these horrible items to the north pole or something like that? I just want to protect people from being laughed at when actually using one somewhere.
why would anyone wanna ruin their hardware by sticking a crappy M$ loggo on it??
No but they might void the warranty if its a Mac.
No, thank you.
Send the stickers to Oprah: she has the power to make Bing popular and get the stickers out to the public.
Ha ha!!!
Yeah, Oprah’s endorsements can help boost bing from the ground up. xD
I wish, I have one and Google’s, TechCrunch Stickers too.
Bing! Microsoft has just paid for an ad by proxy.Bing! very smart!
I will suggest you to burn them(stickers) with crackers and enjoy the fireworks. :0
[REMOVED IRRELEVANT LINK]
bing . nice search engine. But i love google :d
Now you can’t say anything good about Bing or Leo will be all over you like a rash on a hooker.
SInce I use Chrome now I feel a very suspicious feeling creep over when I’m on Bing. Feel like my treason is being logged somewhere by Google and once they control the world they will come for me.
No, thanks.
I want one just to confuse people:
“Oh, what’s Bing?”
“You don’t KNOW?………”
etc.
You know what Bing stands for? But Its Not Google – at least thats what microsoft employees are calling it…
As if the Bingathon last night on Hulu wasn’t enough to promote their new search. While I have switched to Bing fulltime at launch, I’m fine without a sticker. Thanks anyway
Envelop’ll be there in a couple days
This is what I think of when I hear “Bing” http://twitpic.com/6z87z
How big are the stickers?
I want some
Wonder who decided on BING as the name?
Dear Bing,
Listen, I like you and all. You’re a really great search engine, it’s just I’m not really looking for new search engine right now. But I really want us to stay bookmarked, I’m just not comfortable with taking our relationship to the default level. I’m sorry
Luv ya, your friend
Everyone
I’ve got a busted fender on my car that is begging for a *bing* sticker
Nice…
BING rocks !!! No stickers required
