So the question over the last few years has been which search engine should I really be using now. Bing claims to be better than Google, but Google simply has been more popular. Bing is definitely newer than Google, but does Google have that old and wise attribute about them? I have always preferred Google over Bing simply because I like to stick with what I know how to use best. If it gets the job done, then I all for it. In a survey conducted by Bing, it reports that 56% of users found Bing as their preferred site over Google's 32% and 12% being a draw. Although, as I researched into the topic more, people claim that it was a biased decision and basically a marketing scheme. I personally believe it was a scheme simply because you have to beat out your competitors somehow, right? All in all, Google is still preferred over Bing by everyday users. Google is a household name and Bing is only slowly breaking out of its shell. Big corporations like Apple agree that to provide the best user experience, using Google rather than Bing with their Siri technology is preferred. I'm sure Apple is not the only company to make this decision either. In the end, it all depends on what the user wants. If they prefer the look and feel of Bing over Google then they will use Bing. The same goes for people that prefer using Google over Bing.
