Bing’s branding in China will actually be “bi4 ying4″ as in “always answered”…quite appropriate for a search/decision engine, don’t you think?

Bing is wrong no matter how you spread it…
Still waiting for Bing to index my 5 year old website after jumping through their hoops, creating a BING account etc;

Every other search engine has me indexed somewhere without me telling them I exist, but I tell Bing where I am and to Bing I don’t exist?

Wake up to this garbage. support unworkable technologies at your own risk..

In Chinese, ‘Bing’ has many meanings, e.g. soldiers (Bing Ling Chen Xia: means soldiers gather to conquer the city), hold (Bing Zhu Ye Tan, means talking by the light of a candle), etc.

Remember, Bing in Chinese has another meaning for food, i.e. cakes, biscuits or pastry.

There’s loads of funny ways Chinese people play on the similar pronunciations of totally different words. Have a look at how they got around internet censorship of swearing:

[...] I don’t know if it’s lame to use (haven’t tried it – love Google) but lame in name. It’s a lame name, bing, and I don’t think it’ll catch on as a verb, which appears to be (Microsoft CEO Steve) Ballmer’s goal (everyone’s Googling and Facebooking and Twittering, we want them to bing! How’d you find me? I binged you! Do me a favor, and bing bing crosby, will ya? Bing bing cherries. Bing Chandler Bing. Crap, Bing means “disease” in Chinese!). [...]
