Just Tweeted by MS Europe.. @MSEurope <http://twitter.com/MSEurope> : We've lost a background image, if found please return to bing.com ;) From: Rod Trent [mailto:rodtr...@myitforum.com] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 2:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Google and stupid background pictures "Market" driven maybe - definitely a backfire if it's "marketing". It causes the Google page to load slower than a New Orleans network. OK.so, maybe folks aren't moving to Bing for search in droves - but the younger generation (16 and under) is jumping out there daily just to see what photo is up there, and to click on the info ballons.

A very odd move, that I would assume is purely marketing driven. -- ME2 On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Ben Scott <mailvor...@gmail.com> wrote: I have to agree that this is a bad idea on Google's part. I liked Eric's Brouwer remark about following the competition. Google has noted for bucking trends and thinking outside the box; this is a blatant copy-cat move. Bing hasn't been an overwhelmingly phenomenal success, and I'm pretty sure whatever success Bing has had isn't a result of the background picture. Meanwhile, Google's clean home page was practically a trademark in itself. I'm shaking my head, asking "What they were thinking?".
