That's what I'm saying!!
I'm a hard-core Google fan myself
Bing.com is pretty nice but I'm sure that Google will have a response to it very soon and blow it out of the water. :D:

I'd not heard of it before, but it looks great. So... how are they going to make all of those new numbers available and yet have it be a free service? (Didn't stop me from asking for an invite!)

Ads on ringback. Instead of sitting there hearing a ringing noise when someone calls you, they can hear geographically targeted ads.

Yahoo's @ Microsoft! :D:
I will always say "Google it" I mean, saying "Bing it" just doesnt seem right...and things can go sour very fast if it's mistaken for "bring it"
