and the users of HN think they are so smart and intellectual, that Bing being a simpler word could in no way give it any success. yet this is in fact the case. "Bing it and find out" is brilliant. Why would that comment be voted down other than people who can't understand that? They can't understand so they vote it down. It's called Marketing, folks. Marketing, plain and simple. People are stupid, they gravitate to Simple things, Easy things. Why do you think Microwave dinners are so popular? Nearly have their own entire aisle at the very center of every supermarket in America, because they are Simple and they are very profitable. People like simple things, and Bing is a very simple word to say and write. Go ahead and vote this comment down as well, I could care less. But I am right and everyone who votes it down knows it.
