I find this title to be misleading. It implies the post will demonstrate what viable search engine competition would look like, but just explains the problems that Bing is having with Google. Are we to assume that Bing v. Google is viable search engine competition?
While Microsoft's problems are real, this offers little in the way of solutions. That said; interesting read.
- antics 13y agoHmm, I didn't really say that I had the solution. If I did I'd start my own company. :) I said that I would outline the state of making search engines competitive. Here I basically focus the post around areas that are pain points for competition, which I think is pretty relevant to the writeup I set out to make. Do you feel something in particular sucks about the article? I'm happy to change it! That said, I use Bing as a comparison point because it's really the only other point that's comparable in terms of, like, infrastructure and stuff. It's contextualizing more than anything. I might have removed all the references to "Bing", but I don't think it would add clarity.
- thoughtloom 13y agoThe article is good as is, but I'd have titled it ~'What the barriers to "viable search engine competition" really look like.'
