Bing blows it

Bing launched to some decent user reviews, but appallingly it has no knowledge of TS Perspective… and is now dead to me.  Seriously, a broken link to my Muxtape is the number 1 hit?

UPDATE: someone from Microsoft commented that my market was not set to the US – still no excuse – TSPerspective is global!!

Thankfully, Google knows what’s up:

    Looks like your market was not set to United States (english). I did a query for tsperspective and the first result is what you expected. Also, I see some writing in another language in your screen shot next to bing. That maybe says the reason.

    There is still a lot of room for improvements but it is none the less a competitive SE for sure. I am impressed by Bing.

    You didn’t seriously expect microsoft to get it right the first time did you? You’ll have to wait till Bing 7 at least.

    So for some reason you thought that “tspresepective” which means absolutely nothing would show up on Bing? Bing returns relevant and meaningful results. Your blog doesn’t have a large amount of written content which Bing after research seems to prefer over a photography blog. You should’ve done your research on how Bing’s search algorithm works before even making this post.

    Just because Bing doesn’t see your website as valuable for that keyword doesn’t make it a bad search engine – IMHO :)

    too bad you don’t like Bing. So far it seems to work for me. I rarely use Google anymore, except for their awesome translate feature.
