Im sure you've all seen them, they've been on for ages.
The ones that say "what has information overload done to us?"

I dont really understand the message they are trying to get across? To me, the advert says "you're too stupid to decide which results are appropriate, so let our software decide for you!"
Have i misinterpreted the message of the advert?
 
I hate internet advertising hence I use Adblock in Firefox. I don't use Bing but I just looked and I don't get any advertising displayed except the text links at the bottom.

The message seems to be that Bing will find everything except what you're actually looking for. Example:



Woman A asks "I wonder where she got that clutch bag?", Woman B (the personification of Bing) reels off a seemingly endless list of irrelevant results. And that's why I use google.
 
What gets me every time I see these adverts is that MS are trying to portray that google is getting it wrong and overloads us with information.

Yep, MS are the idiots of web development.

I wonder if anyone here actually uses bing? ha!?

That's not the message at all, and it's pretty obvious about it too.
 
Woman with the clutch is Google... duh. :p

I'm sure Bing! works just fine, it's just the fact that I'm so used to clicking home and being presented with Google that I would never really bother making the switch to a different search provider. That, and the one I have now works fine anyway.

Are you both thick or is it a full moon tonight? :D

The Asian woman is clearly a personification of information overload/the results of a search engine that is not Bing!.

I'll break it down for you;

1. Woman asks question, wants to find one piece of information
2. Friend reels off a load of crap, i.e. bad search engine results
3. Advert then asks "What has information done to us?"
4. Advert man says "Next time you're searching online, try Bing!"

Exactly. The advert is basically saying our search engine has a better search algorithm then our competitors.

I must've seen that advert 50 times without realising that. I tend to switch off if an ad doesn't have boobs in it.
