What I failed to mention is that now I have to get them up to speed! (grin). Richard, how’s things down in Texas? I hope well, my friend. Enjoy your kids while they are young (well, at every age, come to think of it…).

I’m like Tony, I have a four year old I need to put to work.

It’s great that your business is growing and that your able to involve your family.

That is cool. There is nothing like a family business. Its a great way for the kids to learn and Cam and Craig could not have a better teacher.

Comment on Bing : Different lipstick, same pig. by Eric Blackwell

Hey Dennis! Too funny.

I think one comment above that is worth a re-read is Mark Green’s. I really think you may be right about Ballmer trying to stick a fork in Yahoo…and they may well be able to pull that one off.

A couple of us here in Louisville were talking about that tonight and it really does not matter who the winner is…the loser is Mr. Yang.

Come on Eric, you say search engines are entirely about relevance… My site ranks well on Bing so they aren’t totally off the mark and in fact IMO for my area, Bing is doing a better job than G since I am ranking higher than those old crappy AA sites.

Of course I agree with you that Bing doesn’t have a chance in competing with G, but at the same time, maybe G will realize that some of those old antiquated AA sites, really are not more relevant than a more modern, informative, totally awesome website.

Excellent points. Just because you have a peiece of paper on your wall stating you completed a course does not make you an expert. How many times are meteorologists wrong about the weather?

Reading you loud and clear, Eric! I’m glad I found this site because I’m going to franchise my funeral home business. You want to get in on the ground floor with me?

Turns out I do well on Bing just the same as Live and MSN. If only it were a relevant search engine.

@Malok- With visibility and with their upcoming ad campaign, it will become apparent the weaknesses in their algo. Will sunlight be the best disinfectant? or will it just shine the light of truth over the pig sty…;-)

@Kevin- You are correct about Wolfram…in my opinion you need to alter the game rather than go the same thing. The advantage that M-soft has is their distibution. That said people shift their new PC’s from Bing to Google every day.
At least Wolfram is offering a truly innovative approach.
