Microsoft offering rewards for using Bing



Well, Bing has always found me what i wanted as compared to Google.
I can see crappy ass sites of 2007 rising from dead in google.
So Bing > Google.

ps:"Bing Rewards isn't available yet in your country or region."
:/

Yeah that's one thing I can't stand about google. I'll search for something like "best 3d tv 2013" and it'll bring up a bunch of articles from 2007 showing me the best CRT's from 2007. Fuck outta here google.
 
On the show "Arrow" all of the computers are those MS thin tablets and they always use Bing as a search engine.

It's obvious brand placement, and probably because I am too much a nerd, looks goofy to me.

But who knows, maybe normals don't notice or the marketing works on them.

That's a page right out of the Apple playbook. I used to wonder if everyone in Hollywood was really a macfag until I read that a large portion of Apple's marketing budget was dedicated to product placement on every TV show and movie imaginable.
 
Browsers offering rewards for searches have been around for years. They come and go, but Swagbucks seems to be here to stay. They even have an affiliate offer that pays $1 or so for sign-ups.
 
It may not be new, but it probably ends badly for PPC advertisers if it becomes widely adopted.

Watch the movie "The Interns" or something titled like that, and prepared to be mystified and dumbfounded at the same time. (Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn... they're usually funny enough for du,b humor, but the storyline and events are so incredibly stupid, the stupidity of the story outdoes anything else involved.)

It's like one giant google billboard, except dumber than almost anyone could imagine. According to the movie, they rate interns by having them run around a lacrosse field with brooms between their legs to throw a ball in a hole. Yeah... it's probably dumber than I'm making it sound.
