Microsoft's new search engine, Bing, is the first real contender for the Google crown. It does things a bit differently, not much that's worse, and quite a bit that's better. Will it be enough?
Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.
Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.
Tim Leberecht and Adam Richardson both work for Frog Design, a consulting firm specialized in designing innovative products and services for Fortune 500 clients. On the Matter / Anti-Matter blog, they engage in a debate around questions they face day-to-day in their work, using convergence/divergence as a lens through which to look at the pressing issues in business, culture, and technology. What makes a successful convergent product or a successful divergent innovation? Is convergence a myth that users don't really care about, or is the current state of convergence just not satisfying enough for them to embrace? How much divergence of innovation is good, and when does it just become confusing? How do you stay on top of people's ever changing needs and wants?

Overall, I think Bing is doing a good job catching up to Google. I am still scratching my head why Microsoft changed the name from Live to Bing. Live is a good name.
I can't say too much about Google because it is excellent in what it is doing.
I have everything that google has and more things like wikipedia, youtube and much more.
