Also – Without a simple toolbar to download it’s inconvenient

Great point Brendan…Google’s track record for innovation has built a tremendous amount of trust. Trust that they’ll continue to exceed expectations in the future and reinforces the point of the post – why fight to displace a juggernaut? You money is better spent elsewhere.

This has been on my mind all day now…

I was thinking about what would make me switch from google to BING…and I came up with only one answer…nothing could make me switch.

Even if BING had some great functionality and did google better than google itself, there’s too much value for me to stay with the innovator. Google comes out with new innovation every day (or at least it seems that way) that make my life easier. If BING somehow finds a way to take google’s innovations and make them better, I know google will get there eventually too…as well as continue to innovate like no one else can.

In my mind, BING will always be a follower, and google will always be a leader.

I’m holding on to my friends – google, as long as I can. I don’t like change, plus, there are so many benefits to google that just cannot be found in any other – so far…

I’m willing to switch friends when I meet someone whose goals and passions are closer to my own. Until Bing is able to prove this, and perhaps it will over time, this will not happen.

Especially since my old friend is so accessible (my homepage-which I’m not ready to change) and comfortable.
