For quite sometime now, I've been using Bing.com as my personal homepage whenever I open my Firefox browser. It used to be Google that will be automatically displayed when I open it or whenever you click the homepage button, but for some reason, I changed it for Bing.
And although Bing is my homepage,I still do my searching via Google's pre-installed search box on the right upper corner next to the address bad in Firefox browser.I just don't like Google's homepage, nothing else.
Having said that, I'm glad and satisfied I changed it for Bing. Whenever I open my browser, I am always excited what will be the next featured photo on the website. If you haven't been to Bing, you probably don't know what I'm talking about. Bing.com's hoomepage is dominated by a huge background photo that changes everyday. These photos can range from people, sceneries, animals, abstract forms and even the outer space (they featured a crater on Mars once).
Bing.com's featured photos on their main page takes me and its millions of users to places they have not been. I totally dig this feature, definitely a win, win for them. I've been s supporter of simplicity for the good portion of my life and used Google's super plain, super clean, very very uncluttered search homepage, but this time, my love for the great outdoors and photography won over simplicity.
Personally, search results are still far more better with Google. Based on my observation, Google's results are still more relevant to what you are really searching for than that of Bing. Perhaps because Google has this ability to remember your searching history and preference as long as you are logged in to Gmail or any other Google account. I don't know if Bing has that feature too as I don't have MSN accounts.
I love both Bing and Google and with Firefox's search engine toolbar, I can have Bing and Google in one page. The former for a beautiful, graphically appealing homepage and the latter for its relevant search results.
