Several months later, this reads like meaningless hype.

Comparing traffic to Twitter? Meaningless.

Eye tracking between users who had never seen Bing and therefore looked around a bit more versus users who surely must have used Google before and therefore looked around much less out of familiarity? Meaningless.

Frankly, this reads like schlock journalism of someone who borrows other people’s research and writes exclusively about hot topics of the day in order to whore for traffic, rather than someone who thinks seriously through the issues or does any research.

It will be interesting to see what happens over time. I know that since Bing came out, one of my sites is getting tremendous targeted traffic that it did not get from Google, but that may change!

Thanks for the in-depth information.

Although it’s interesting to compare the two in terms of eye-tracking, there isn’t much context provided on the participants so it’s difficult to assess what the long-term impact will be.

You also make a judgement about the initial usage figures, but given the amount of hype the launch of Bing has driven that’s not surprising at all – the deciding factor, as always, will be whether the gimmick keeps people interested for long enough. IMHO I think not, but time will tell

Thats true – but i reckon they are afraid of loosing users by randomly inserting Adwords entries into the search results, because it could turn into a negative user expierence which is bad for cassual users who dont get the difference (and thats against their company policy “do nothing bad”)… hmm do i sound like a google fanboy? hope not =)
