    So after being a dedicated Googler for a very long time, I've recently started trying other search engines. Namely bing.

    I'm pretty impressed with their results most the time and I even picked them over google according to http://www.bingiton.com/

    The only problem I have is mostly as a webmaster: 1. It crawls slower than google, and is taking forever to get an established site listed. Where as a brand new site I just started is already in there (wtf?).
    2. Their cralwer seems to go way slower than the Google bot on new content.

    Other than that I think their SERP's are pretty good.

    Bing as was MSN search it's predecessor has and will always be slow to include a site. I do think the results are much better because of this and that results are not as watered down as Google.

    Given that I recently started using windows phone 8 as my cellphone, I use Bing now. I actually like bing and my site ranks higher on bing than it does on google.
