Google scores a critical hit to Bing’s credibility
Whoa. Shit just got real.
Google have a post on their blog entitled “Microsoft’s Bing uses Google search results - and denies it”. It’s a pretty interesting post that explains how Google set up search results for nonsense terms in Google, then repeatedly searched for them using IE8. After a week or two, Bing began returning the same results for these nonsense terms.
Microsoft responded with “We do not copy Google’s results” and then later with this post which implies that they sorta kinda do.
