今早返工前去行 Loblaws, 見到今期 Canadian Business 雜誌講 Google, 就搏命的翻閱, 無奈有位「唔通氣」又愛「執書」的服務員, 不斷在我身旁, 前後左右執書, 像隻烏蠅般厭煩. 當然, 在她眼中, 我是個攪攪震冇幫襯從不放下「屠」書, 就立地成佛的「固」客.
剛考今日 Mini 路過, 就和她去了 Starbuck 邊飲邊看雜誌, 反正有人請飲熱果汁, 何樂而不為? Mini 經常問我為何不買 Starbuck? 我總是答她, 只怪Starbuck實在太貴, 不似 Google, 幾乎像免費一般.
Mini 見我看雜誌, 就跟我談到 Google 和 Bing, 問我邊隻好.
我說 Bing會在左邊列出搜索記綠, 在搜索文字時會試圖將資料分類, 而且搜索影片時, 當滑鼠指著某影片, 那影片就會發聲. 這三個功能都是我比較喜歡.
問題是: 假如搜尋到的資料少得可憐, 那三個功能就形同廢物.
Bilibala 做了個簡單而隆重的測試, 証明 Google比Bing好100倍.
測試 #1
我用下面網址搜尋人生中最感人肺腑, 最風趣幽默, 又最增廣見聞和笑中有淚的 Bilibala Blog.
http://www.bing-vs-google.com/?q=bilibala+blog
測試結果: Google 在頭一版就找到了6個 links 在第二版也找到4個, Bing 冇用到要丙, 頭一版沒有 Bilibala, 連一個也沒有, 第二版只找到兩個.
=> 假如 Bing 只能搜尋大路, 小眾如 Bilibala Blog就無能為力, 又有何用? 大路我自己不用找, 也懂直接 enter web address la.
測試 #2
今晚要 send 個E-貓鼓勵人去周五大多市培靈會, 居然無法搜尋得著, 不是 Google 無能, 而是主辦單位和一眾教會低能 (Sorry, 我要愛心說誠實話). 一個一年一度, 落力準備的培靈會, 居然除了在多倫多華基的家訊(仲要係 pdf file)提及就什么也找不到.
Come on!! 這是個怎樣的世代?
舉辨一個大型活動而不讓 Google google 到你, 太不智!!

測試 #3
找了半天也找不到大多市培靈會的 flyer, 於是改找主辦單位 - 多倫多華人福音同工團契(要被人找到, 就要在自己網上也加上簡稱「多倫多華福」, 誰會記住這臃長的名字.)
http://www.bing-vs-google.com/?q=%E5%A4%9A%E5%80%AB%E5%A4%9A%E8%8F%AF%E7%A6%8F
他們當然不會這樣, 所以找不到. 唯有用全名去找:
http://www.bing-vs-google.com/?q=%E5%A4%9A%E5%80%AB%E5%A4%9A%E8%8F%AF%E4%BA%BA%E7%A6%8F%E9%9F%B3%E5%90%8C%E5%B7%A5%E5%9C%98%E5%A5%91
Bing 依然搜尋到像 ACM 這樣完全是 apple and orange 的東西, 還是用Google找到了「多倫多華福」, 又在這網址找到大多市培靈會的 flyer.
也許Google也有弱點, 就是它無法找到圖畫檔案中的文字.
但華福和一眾教會也值得反省, 一個無法被搜尋得到的 flyer, 一個沒有 online promotion 的聚會, 仍有過千人人出席, 是神的慈愛, 主耶穌基督的恩惠, 和聖靈保惠師的感動常與眾人同在之故.
這樣的祝福, 類似的祝福, 教會, 我們, 我們經常使用, 但可以繼續濫用么?
Okay, I'm here to support the polka dot background. =P
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Bing VS Google. True, google is way more popular and better (I personally love it), but Bing has a better presentation of the material. Given with the technology and further improvement of Bing, it could be as good as google in the future. Givien they are comparable in the future, what makes the difference is the presentation of the information. Also, Microsoft conducted studies and knows people use search engine based on what they are used to, so their strategy is to put bing as default search engine when people buy windows computers. It seems working as Microsoft is gaining market share since lauch, meaning google is losing market share at the same time. And because the informaiton is arranged better in Bing, the ad performance on Bing is better than Google.
Secondly, thanks for your hard work for getting the poster. hahaha...but I'm not coming this Friday. I'm not a big fan of Pastor So. Sorry...
Btw, it's starbuckSSSS and it's worth paying for the price for the whole coffee experience it offers. (I'm not talking about stock price though. hahaha) AND their Caramel apple spice caught your interest although you don't drink coffee. LOL
