Bing and porn

Microsoft's Bing, the search engine formally known as Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search, has garnered lots of attention lately (and a bit of market share too.) WOT supports Bing search results with our ratings, in addition to supporting other popular search engines.

Porn made easy

Recent criticisms of Bing say that it's making searching for porn too easy. Bing has a feature called Smart Motion Previews which provides video previews in the search results, which is great in concept, but it doesn't know the difference between a video of sleeping puppies and porn. Any motivated middle schooler can easily turn off Bing's SafeSearch and watch porn for hours without ever visiting a porn site.

Kim Komando suggests blocking Bing until Microsoft comes up with a solution. For people attempting to surf porn at work, Microsoft has published instructions for a workaround, that will make it harder to access porn from their work PCs.

BING .... "Ballmer Is Not Googling!"

Bing is not using the Google way yet and so I think it won't be a google rival yet ....

To be honest they will get more traffic if a lot of people know about that.....

      Grab your Bing and double click for porn porn porn!

      Ok, Bing doesn't rhyme with click, but if I type the original lyrics I'll get in trouble :P

      If this got out to the general public, i think lots of a certain kind of people would rush to Bing.

      I still prefer Google.

        If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

        Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.
