I love that Bing means "Bing Is Not Google." very... - Robert Scoble

I have seen this on an internal MS slide....don't have a copy to share sorry :-( - Clifford Kennedy

BORING would have been better as in BOR Is Not Google. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Live is not Google either, doesn't make it any better. - Brian Schwartz

And that's supposed to be a positive thing? I am looking forward to Wave...now that's Google. - Troy Malone

Hmmm. - Kol Tregaskes

I suspect that BIG would have been better. - Guan Yang

Oh, that is classic. Reminds me of WINE for Linux (Wine Is Not an Emulator). - Sokkratez

It must have been Ballmer's idea. - Jared Mehle

Guhmshoo++ - Chris Heath

Guhmshoo just showed how little thought Microsoft put in to the name. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

They're all hype and no substance. They thought a clever name would get them in the game, and it make them look dumb. I'm guessing Bing is Live with a new name. - Chris Spizzirri

Are they allowed to even use Google as part of their name? Clearly bing is just an abreviation if this is really the case and I would of thought that would be a no no. - Simon Wicks

Ballmer Is Not Glad. - Victor Panlilio

Ballmer is no Gates - Larry Hawes

@guhmshoo I say we turn it around and start plugging the phrase "to bingle" as /the/ word for the usage of Bing #bing #fail - peter huesken

TINT Is Not Teco is from 1977 or '78. - Bruce Lewis

sadly the first thing that comes to mind when i hear "Bing" is Chandler from Friends. I'm sure that's not a good thing either. - John Wang

John Wang: +1. The next thing I thought of after Chandler was WENUS, which definitely is not a good thing! :>) - Larry Hawes

I wouldn't be surprised if the next trending hashtag topic will be #bingstandsfor? - Gil Francisco III

is BING run using GNU software? recursive acronyms FTW. - Andrew Feinberg

Bingisnotgoogle.com actually points to Google search. Interesting! - Arpit Dhariwal

it's a nice web search but I honestly don't think anything will replace Google search. It's just too common. People should just move on. What honestly would replace Google as the #1 search engine? - Toby Howell

It's a little late for MicroSoft to be turning to Open Source-flavored linguistic wordplay for salvation. - Chris Keene

wow that was good. I think BING = Bing is Not Good. - Alp

cool! - Jason Pollock
