    Quoting the Article:

    Look at the introduction of Bing. Bing represents some growth from our
    current thoughts on search marketing. At its core, it's about shortening
    the journey. When I sat with Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi prior to Bing's
    launch, he shared the data that informed its development. What became
    clear is that it takes longer than you'd think for more than half of all
    people to get from start to finish with a search objective. There's also
    includes a great deal of dissatisfaction with results.

    The Response to This Article and the Quotation Directly Above:

    While Bing may have a point about search time and dissatisfaction with
    search results, the problem is not going to be in the least solved by
    Bing. The real problem is that virtually nowhere in K-12 or college
    curriculum is learning effective searching tools and techniques taught for
    most high school or college graduates. If advanced Google search
    techniques are used and Google's specialized databases like Scholar,
    Government, Books and News Archive are used, one can find very valuable on
    point information very quickly and my discussion group and library subject
    guides are literally filled with examples. Furthermore, most people in the
    United States are blissfully unaware of state funded access 24/7 to public
    library card holders of a range of databases from services like First
    Search, EBSCOHost, ProQuest and others that provide access to source
    listings and full text articles from magazines, newspapers and academic
    journals. The problem is not getting a Bing to ping Google, it is rather
    teaching Americans of all ages information literacy skills and in
    particular a much higher level of skill in using search engines and also
    databases that are more powerful but a learning curve over search engines.
