Anyone use Bing?

Pretty much everyone goes straight for Google when they want a search engine but there a few alternatives such as Yahoo and Bing to name a few.
I was watching the latest episode of PDS where he gave a quick overview of the recently revamped Bing. Seems like they have updated the search engine to tie in with the two most used social media networks, Facebook and Twitter. So basically when you search something it will bring up the usual results as well some related info on Facebook and Twitter, stuff like reviews, links to people that know about what you searched for such as bloggers etc, it will also find out if any of your friends interested with with what you are searching for. I thought this was a decent effort on Bings behalf and might be enough to sway a few people away from Google.
What do you guys think about this and do you use any other search engine apart from Google?

I used to use Yahoo, then I switched to Google, and everytime I see bing I'm like where's my Google. [Rage]

As long as it gives me what I want then I don't really care what search engine it is.

Google just "looks" cleaner to me thats why I don't really care to use anything else and have stuck to using google for the last decade or so.

I stepped away from Yahoo as well, it just got way too messy showing me crap I had no interest in at all.

I just use the address bar to search stuff on google, I haven't been to googles main page in ages. That's pretty much the only reason why I use it.

www.engadget.com/... looks like Bing is really pushing hard to gets its share of the market back from Google. I didn't even know there was a Bing Maps. Good luck to them lets hope all the time and money they have invested doesn't go to waste. Someone really needs to step up to Google they can't own everything.

Oh yeah I noticed that. Not the best way to get people on board by forcing it down our throats. Just offer a good service and people will start using it.

That Bing desktop update is still hovering around waiting for me to slip up and accidentally check off the install button. I'm staying sharp though [Shifty]
