*groan* :) I can't help but wonder if the Bing name is taken from the "Bing" sound that live messenger makes (the one I've turned off) when someone comes online.
Or maybe a monty python gag, referencing the machine that goes "Bing". More evidence that all the good names have already been taken and we're now down to the silly ones. I refer you back to my blog post on Letter conservation (which Google and Bing both find, although on Google it is number one...) http://blog.littlevoices.com/2009/01/letter-conservation.html I'm sure I should be able to tie in the shortage of names with letter conservation, what do you think? cheers, Stephen On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Scott Barnes <[email protected]>wrote: > Silverlight puts the Bling in Bing J > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Steven Berry > *Sent:* Monday, June 01, 2009 9:10 PM > > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* RE: Silverlight 3 to be released July 10 > > > > Wow from Wave to Bing to Silverlight 3, its all happening… > > > > Good old RIA bashing….
