OK – so perhaps it opportunistic of me to try to get traffic to my blog because Scott Hanselman just blogged that he will use Bing! for a month. Fine! But I will try for my own reasons just to see what it feels like not to use “the Almighty”…
Note: This post had a really funny side effect. Please also read - Funny story: The day Scott Hanselman DOS:ed my blog
Scott Hanselman: Bosom Buddies: How to make Google Chrome use Microsoft Bing for Search
Go give Bing! a try. I'm going to use Bing for the whole month of June and see how it goes. I'll blog my results.
But in order to do this I HAVE to be able to use Bing! as my browsers default search engine. Scott showed how to do it in Chrome. Here’s how to do it in two other browsers I use:
Internet Explorer 8
Bing Search http://www.ieaddons.com/in/details/searchhelpers/Bing_Search/
FireFox
Bing 20090601 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10434
or
Bing 20090531 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12205
Now let’s see how this goes… it’s going to feel weird at first for sure.
Cheers,
M.
