Thread: Will Google Copy Bing?

Bing is moving away from the minimalist search result interface and started integrating a lot in the search engine results. And as I have seen their presentations in various conferences, they back up their search results layout that has categories on the side with eye tracking heat map data and other user testing saying that these categories really help users get to what they are searching for.

Google might consider this as well. Right now there are tons of posts talking about the preview of Google’s new search result interface showing a side bar. It does not seem to be categories, but just repositioning the Web, Images, Video, News, etc options from the top to the side.

I think Google would develop new interface and features but not copy from Bing. I think the future arena of search engines might be on social media but not only on general purpose. IMO. :)

Thanks,

I am sure that Google can be very innovative to surpass Bing about the development of search engines.

I think google will keep doing what their doing. Bing has a long way to come before it's any real threat.
