Bing

I have to say, Bing.com is pretty slick. Although it somehow reminds me of Matthew Perry, Bing takes a great concept and implements it well. Under the banner of a "decision engine", it organizes results based on purpose. For example, if you search "Xbox" it gives you the categories Buy, Fix, Games, Support, etc, and organizes the results into these groups. No one is going to catch Google's algorithm, but Bing instead looks to pull the rug out from under the established norms for search, much like Apple did with the iPhone I am using to write this post...
