WAVE and BING!

My eyes are firmly on the new Wave and Bing! Google Vs Microsoft! In the ‘real’ world, the saying goes that when two bulls fight the grass suffers. Well, in the ‘virtual’ world of the internet the ‘grass’ seems to benefit! I like Bing’s video searching results but I am used to Google’s results in general, so am not changing engines yet.
