What do people see when they search for you online? You can control how you appear in Google by creating a personal profile... Help people find the right information when they search for you on Google. Most important factor about this is you will be findable. You might have profiles at Flickr, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace. Well here come the Google Profiles. Finally Google has a social element in it. Before someone acquires a Google Profile name which you like, reach there and create one. This profile can be personal, business or anything. Who does not like more exposure?
Google is a big company, they are not gonna go away. but the number of people trying to get things done are gonna say "Bing! man, thats the way to go."

Okay, the Yahoo and Google are already in the market. Their search engines are most powerful. Google is the most powerful search engine. You just type something and Google will let you know that there are thousands of related results you are looking for and thousands of related pages are there for you to explore about the topic you just searched, if you want to know all about that. Nobody is going to read all that thousands of pages of whole crap. We just do not read enough. We scan few search results pages, read titles of pages, open few, get our required information and close the browser. Google searches well. Its a giant. A search engine will not distinguish the better information than other among its search results. If there are some results in response from your search term, then search engine gonna throw those results at your face not thinking about which result is better and relevant than the other one to your request.
What's the Bing then. I doubt that its even a real word. Except that I saw a TV show "Friends" once in which there is a funny character 'Chandler Bing' and I searched in the dictionary, it said there is bang, bind, big, bin... but there is no such thing as bing. Anyways.... Microsoft decided anyways to use the word Bing. Bing is the search engine by Microsoft which tries to distinguish results. It tries to give you better results. If you want to buy flights tickets or want to travel from some place to another, it will do some thinking and suggest something exactly related to that, and solution which has worked for other people. Its results are somehow live also.
Today I came across a search engine. They said that it is a Computational Knowledge Search Engine. I thought okay.., still a search engine. Let's mess with it... I typed my name and hit enter; nothing found. I thought this is a really hopeless search engine which does not even know me who is sitting right in front of it. I tried my personal website name; nothing found. WTH! Then I explored it a little bit and found that it was a different kind of search engine. I mean not every search engine is Google which even knows where your grand parents lived. Try an alien name living at Mars and Google will give you some images and links or probably some videos too showing how to arrange a meeting with that alien. Anyways! we are talking about some computational knowledge based search engine. No spammers or bloggers exaggerations; just Facts and Figures.
