So i've Binged a bit more recently

And being the speed nazi that I am, thought shit, Bing is quick.

Sure enough the pages and most of the javascript is hosted by Akamai, and that means its in Orcon's datacenter!

Results obviously come from HQ but i'd assume they're all nicely compressed JSON or somethin'.

Nifty!

I just tried it and impressed too

I like the way it previews a video link when cursor is over it, very handy now I have a fast internet connection

will use again

their maps suck however

Yeah very snappy, but agreed the maps are horribly out of date.

Old Spaghetti Junction, and my house isn't even there, and I've been living here for 5 years.

Because Its Not Google!

yeh have had all searches set to BING for some time. Am finding what I want.

Google maps and wises maps are out of date also

Anyone want to give me an address and a screen shot of an area that is out of date, I'm interested to see if Nokia Maps data is any newer than what others are providing.

Chur.

2 John Street Wellington!

Up to date. (Central Motorway Junction)

crazy. that bing map even has the old chinese markets down on quay st

QE2 Square is still QE2 Square and not a bus depot, virtually none of Britomart is there, Vector Arena hasn't even been started.

Censored search results?
