I've never found anything that I can't find on Bing that I could find on Google. WolframAlpha is another option. That's what Apple uses for Siri searches.

Google also scans every email in Gmail for specific keywords they can use for target marketing to you. Microsoft did a parody video about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDbrX5U75dk

I guess as long as you don't care about Google knowing everything about you, you're ok to use it.

>I will be careful with my gmail email (I don't my girl friends' messages end up in some other guy's email <g>). However, I tried Bing and, in my experience, it was not even close in getting me results compared to Google. So Google is still my friend. I was thinking of creating an account in Youtube; just so that I can save my favorite videos.
