Thread: What does the search engine "Bing" stand for?

As far as what I know, there's no specific meaning for bing.

Isn't BING it's name? No other meaning that I know of.

i have read from an article that BING stands for "But It's Not Google"..

It is definitely not powered by google. They have their own algorigthm

If anyone does find out that BING stands for something, let me know...

AFAIK it's just bing..

Its been advertised as a Decision Making search engine, and the sound Bing is supposed to represent that decision making process.

BING its self is a name and there is no abbreviation for it.......I Read few articles and try to search it but i found nothing...like google as not abbreviation same is for yahoo and msn as well

I heard it was related to the charachter on friends but someone will always come up with some saying when there are few letters to work with.

Its a verb and thats important. The problem with MSN was you cant use it in a sentence like Google but you can say BING IT! which someone is likely to say in a sentence. You heard the term Location Location Location but on the internet the NAME means everything. Bing is also easy to remember.

Great tool on bing - Click travel - then just below the search is Compare dates and destinations and you can get a graph of what flying costs and if the prices are going up or down.

I tend to think of google as a search engine and bing as more of a program.

BTW if your shopping on the internet without using BING Cashback your losing free money.

There is no specific meaning of BING. Just have a windows live ID and start exploring things
