Microsoft has been known for some colorful TV advertisements, especially those garnered towards Vista, but I think they are really onto something with the above Bing ad.

Recently released to, obviously, market their revamped and re-engineered search engine, Bing’s first TV ad focuses on taking all of the fuss and confusion (I didn’t know there way any?) out of using an online search engine.

They are obviously targeting Google with their whole “no more search overload” slogan so let’s see how this ad has an impact on which search engine users decide to use.

It was only a few days ago that Microsoft launched their Google competitor, Bing, and now already they are diving headfirst into the mobile game.

Microsoft recently announced that they have launched Bing’s mobile version at m.bing.com. Now, I have to say, while it’s no Google, Bing’s mobile page loads very fast and looks just as nice using the iPhone’s web browser.

There’s no telling now if Bing will stand a chance against Google but even in the early stages Microsoft is doing a good job so we’ll have to see how this one unfolds.

Remember Microsoft’s answer to Google entitled Bing that we told you about last week? You know the one they invested over $80 million into? Yeah, that one.

Microsoft has recently released a press statement detailing the search engine’s launch which you can check out over at www.bing.com.

The verdict? Well, it certainly looks a bit different than Google but functions virtually the same way. Maybe it will catch on, but probably not.

That’s right folks, Wolfram Alpha is a new search engine which is now available for your needs. It’s not going to be your next Google but the Wolfram Alpha is ready for trial. You will be able to use the new search engine to compute systematic knowledge immediately. That means you can write anything you want to know and then compare the results with each other.

Wolfram Alpha will go through 10+ trillion of piece of data, 50,000+ types of algorithms and models, and it has linguistic capabilities for 1000+ domains. Want to try it? Like I said, it’s not Google.
