I have always used Google as my go-to search engine. Google has a lot of really cool features. This week I experimented with Bing and Wolframalpha. From here on out in my life, I really think I'll be utilizing all three search engines.
When looking at Bing, the homepage is always a picture that someone has submitted. I thought that was pretty cool, it says a lot about Bing as a company. Anytime a business can turn around and give a shout out to it's clients is pretty rare and rewarding (for both parties).
Doing a search with Bing, they were able to pull up some really cool facts right away, not that Google wouldn't be able to, but with Google I'd have to dig around. I enjoy cruising around the web finding videos about cool things people have done with their lives and also funny videos. Bing has some really cool search features while searching for videos.
Wolframalpha pulls way cool statistics really fast. It's super easy to do comparisons. I love comparing things online. Using this website I was able to look at the difference in income, cost of living, taxes, weather, crime, and prices for food for my Houston vs SLC and for NYC vs SLC. I'm pretty nervous at times about password security. With this website I'm able to generate any length of password, any characters or numbers (I can choose to allow them or not) and this site can tell me how long it will take (on average) to crack that password. Let's just say I decided to change a few passwords.
I'm glad I took the time to investigate and look at other sites on the internet. I'm excited to see what else I can pull up using these websites!
