Bing 2.0 Means Goodbye Google?
September 12, 2009
I read a post about how wonderful SharePoint 10 will be for * everyone *. Sounded like Tiny Tim because there were zero facts. Mary Jo Foley’s write up had some but I was not convinced. With Google and Facebook and Twitter snagging wizards, Microsoft has to pay a lot for semi-wizards. When semi-wizards tell me that Bing 2.0 means “goodbye Google”, I don’t assign that a high probability. You may, of course, and you may love SharePoint. Good for you. You can read Ms. Foley’s backhand praise volley in “Microsoft’s Bing 2.0: Coming this Fall (Maybe Even Next Week)” and judge for yourself. Don’t let the addled goose’s reality medicine dissuade you. The hopeful comment in my opinion was this statement with a Twitter source:
“BING 2.0 terrific !! watch out guys ! Bing + Silverlight in maps = amazing !! goodbye Google”.
As I documented in my CENDI talk about next generation data management, duplicating what Google has will not close the gap between Microsoft and Google. Just my opinion because doing what Google has done is not good enough. Just as recycling Fast ESP will not be good enough for the type of information access that users require in the aftermath of the financial bloodbath.
