It's Good To Get Your Name On Top

More about camp later.

 

One of the cool features I put on my laptop is having two different toolbar searches, Bing and Google. Many different times the "autocomplete" feature will determine what you want to look for. For example, after "Funt", "Funtrivia" becomes the first choice.

 

I decided to compare the most popular result for each letter of the alphabet.

 

Google                                            Bing

Amazon                                           Aol

Best Buy                                         Bank of America

                          Craigslist

                          Dictionary

                          Ebay

                          Facebook

Gmail                                               Google

                          Hotmail

IRS                                                   Internet Explorer

                          JcPenny

                          Kohls

                          Lowes

                          Myspace

                          Netflix

Orbitz                                              Orkut

                          Photobucket

Quotes                                            QVC

Realtor.com                                     Runescape

Southwest Airlines                          Sears

                          Target

USPS                                                UPS

Verizon Wireless                              Verizon

                         Walmart

                         XM Radio

Youtube                                           Yahoo

Zillow                                               Zip Codes

 

 

So the letters C, D, E, F, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, T, W, and X share the same top result.

 

Personally, I think that these results show what kind of person the searcher is.

 

Bing users like clunker websites (AOL, Internet Explorer, Yahoo, Runescape) and intensive shopping (QVC, Ebay) while Google users like easy-to-use websites (Amazon, Youtube, Gmail). Google users like electronics (Best Buy) more than Bing users (Sears). Google users like traveling and buying houses (Realtor.com, Southwest Airlines, Zillow, Orbitz). If you use Google, you are more than likely liberal (USPS, IRS, Amazon, Gmail) and if you use Bing, you are more than likely conservative (UPS, Zip Codes, Sears, QVC, Yahoo).

 

Remeber, do not send me "Even though I use ___ that doesn't mean I ___" notes. These are general observations from one person.

 

Glad to back home.
