"Google has become the standard search engine of choice around the world, but it's not the only one in the game. Microsoft's Bing is a fine alternative, but getting people to switch is hard. Would you switch your search engine if Microsoft were to donate $3 to schools in need?
Microsoft has created Search With Purpose, a page that will add Bing as a search provider in Firefox and IE (though the whole donation process will work with Chrome and Safari too) and send you a $3 donation code for you to enter in yourself.
The page notes "Bing will donate up to $100,000 in $3 donation codes during the promotion. Donation codes may only be used at DonorsChoose.org and expire on August 31, 2010." Nevertheless, it's to a good cause and you don't really have to be committed to Bing if you find Google is still a better fit for your internet needs."
If you read what it says it does not say that it charges you anything.
I typed Google.com without thinking about it when I need to do a search. It's just way too easy for me to type, but sometimes I misspelled google.com, like googe.com or whatever.
If I type bing.com, I cannot make a single typo because when I type bing, my fingers did it in a quick succession. It's only my left and right index fingers before I finish it off with ".com" and hit [Enter].
Microsoft has enough money already, if they care then they should donate money witouth charging people $3. And I agree very much with machiavelli7.
i use both equally.
No, cause those money will not end in the pocket of people who actually need it. It's like the sms thing, you think you're sending 2 euro for the poor children in Africa, but really the money ends up in the already full pocket of some rich corporation.
