Introduction ¶
The new Bing is here. Using this is better than using Google … Yes, Bing is better than Google in many scenarios. In this post, I will detail a real-life usage of the new Bing
The example will include comparing pricing and information gathering to aid in purchasing decisions.
Save money ¶
I was looking to get a lawnmower.
I started the usual, Google, and Amazon looking at the top ratings, prices, features etc.
Diving into manufactures websites looking at features, warranties and third-party reviews.
I found one that was fit for my use case and passed my checks. The Sun Joe MJ24C-14-XR
Then, I remembered, I had access to the new Bing ! How could I utilize it? I decided to open chat and ask Bing a simple question:
what is the cheapest price for the sun joe mj24c-14-xr
The response was helpful and concise, with price & sources on where Bing got the information if I wanted to dive into each source.
My second question was:
ok, please show me the other prices you found in a list.
Helpful information, in a list as requested. Showing multiple prices. It also matched what I did manually using Google.
So, Bing at the very least confirmed that I had the best deal at the exact time I looked.
Extra information ¶
So, you can and should add Bing to your arsenal when shopping online, you could even use it exclusively for your shopping experience, and you should be pleasantly surprised.
Caveat ¶
Ok, so maybe, the bot could have a bias toward certain e-commerce providers. That is why, at this time, I’d recommend using Bing as part of your purchasing decisions.
