Is Bing Better Than Google?

It’s nice to live in a world where we no longer have to fear being taken over by aliens.

Nope.

Today, the concern comes much closer with the war of the search engines.

Bing vs Google vs Yahoo – which one is better? Is Bing Better than Google?

My answer, who cares? As long as you get what you need when you go to the Web does it really matter where you got your information from?

However, if forced to take a side in this battle I would take up arms with Google for now, though that could change sometime in the future. I know, not much allegiance. But then that’s technology for you.

So what exactly makes Bing better than Google or Google better than Bing? Here are five answers I have come up with.

*** Say What? ***

When I was doing research for this article using Traffic Travis I received relevant possible keywords to use for Google, but Bing? We were singing the songs of Bing Crosby mostly.

Why does this matter?

It’s like a grandpa and grandchild. While the whipper snapper has great potential, the old geezer has far much more experience and familiarity with the world. Perhaps someday Bing will be as popular as Google, but for now that certainly isn’t the case.

*** Wonderful Wheel ***

To my knowledge, as of this writing, Bing doesn’t have Google’s new Wonder Wheel. I love this tool and use it daily, sometimes multiple times. While many still don’t know about Google’s new free tool, I sure do, and I love it.

After doing any search click the options tab and look down the list till your eye reads Wonder Wheel. That’s your stopping point. For a writer like myself, I am given lots of keywords to weave into my content which pleases Google and makes my writings more interesting to my live audience.

*** Speeding Webs ***

No, I’m not going to tell you something about pharmaceuticals here. What I will say is that Google’s new “caffeine” service allows it to classify and rank items much faster than ever before. Being able to get valuable content that you need in critical places where you can find it faster helps you to find exactly what you need on the Web instead of wasting your valuable time.

*** Old Stories ***

In days gone by people relied on the elderly of their clan to pass stories down to the next generation. That’s not so necessary anymore, and it is sad in a way. However, today search engines like Google provide high quality information that everyone needs and wants almost instantaneously.

I love Google’s simple search engine results. It’s the only search engine I know of that refuses to crowd itself with unwanted useless information in a hope to make a buck off the first page people search on. Perhaps Dogpile does the same, though it certainly is not as popular as the granddaddy Google.

So yes, Google still reigns supreme though certainly challenged by other up and coming relevant search engines like Bing. However instead of thinking of it as Bing better then Google or trying to compare Bing vs Google vs Yahoo.

I say stop worrying about what makes Bing better than Google or Google better than Yahoo.

Simply use the tools and decide which one you like. If you are like me you might find that one search engine is your primary, while you use the others to back up what you can’t find during searches of your primary.

What is your thought on the matter? Does it really matter? Is Bing better than Google?

3 Types Of Bar Code Scanner Devices

Bar code scanner technology has been around since the 90’s. There are many industries that have deemed its use unavoidable for their requirements with good reason.

Imagine having to haul around an entire computer to check inventory quantities. At best that would be cumbersome. At worse it could be a potential hazard. Using a bar code scanner as your resource point provides you the ability to move more freely without slowing down progress. As such, this is why many businesses just like yours put handheld barcode scanners on their “must have” list of “buy computer accessories” requirements.

While the technology for barcode reader devices is always expanding and improving the three we will discuss in this article include:

1. USB bar code scanner
2. Cordless bar code scanner
3. Bluetooth bar code scanner

*** USB Bar Code Scanner ***

These devices are often found in check stands and library counters as they include a cord and tie directly into the computer station being utilized. USB bar code scanner technology offers more flexibility for the user to reach locations that are not easy to access otherwise.

*** Cordless Bar Code Scanner ***

This bar code scanner is easily defined by its name. There is no reason to carry around a connecting device to feed information to as it is built right into the technology. Removing cords and devices makes it much easier to get the job done quickly without the hassles. Cordless bar code scanner devices normally come with a base that you can plug them into for charging when not in use.

*** Bluetooth Bar Code Scanner ***

One of the newest technologies on the market is the Bluetooth bar code scanner devices. They look and function just like the normal cordless bar code scanners. The difference is in how the information is transmitted. Bluetooth technology uses a proprietary radio communication technology that the other devices have not integrated.

There is no question that technology continues to advance even in the world of bar code scanner products. As such, when your resource point requires the need to buy computer accessories that include this type of technology take time to find out what the latest on the market is so that you can make the best decisions for your technology needs.
