Bing is the new search engine by Microsoft which was due to launch on the 3rd of June, but for some reason it has launched today!
After using the service for the last ten minutes or so there seems to be do real major difference between Live.com and Bing.com. Search results are still terrible and it is really only the interface that has improved and only slightly.
I cant see Bing in its current form taking any search share from Google. In fact I think in its current form it is probably going to do the opposite and give Google more share of the market. Im amazed that Microsoft cant get a good search algorhythm and that Google are just so far ahead in actually providing quality results.
Microsoft really seems to just lack originality when it comes to search and the majority of their online products. MSN has never really done too much, Windows media player is completely outdated and hotmail needs a revamp but never seems to change much, now bing is the search engine that couldnt.
It would be great to hear your thoughts on the new Bing search engine. The best example of the results is that I searched ‘Crenk’ and the our own website came up 9th! Terrible!

Here at Crenk we have been on Twitter since the start, but we have never really tried to push our Twitter account too much, we just let the growth happen organically. However, Im really wanting to try to build a community around our twitter account. At the moment we are getting very close to 1,500 twitter followers. I know this is nothing compared to Ashton Kutcher, but then again im not a movie star (well at the moment, lol).
Anyways, help us find more Twitter followers! Our account is www.twitter.com/crenk.
Here at Crenk we use Twitter on a daily basis and really try to interact with our readers. Yesterday we followed our 2,000 account on Twitter and then I noticed after hitting this milestone that we aren’t able to follow any more users. I wasn’t really too sure why this was happening so I posted a quick message on Twitter asking people why I cant follow any more people, and @richmulholland and @Neil_duckett replied to let me know that Twitter has a 10% rule once you reach 2,000.
Therefore if I want to follow more people on Twitter I need my followers to reach at least 1820 followers. Thus, I need your help! Please follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/crenk) and help us spread the word and get other people to follow us also.
Welcome to the Crenk Community News Archives. Here you will find a complete list of all the articles submitted to the Crenk Community News section.
Here at Crenk we have reached another milestone. Admittedly it isn’t the biggest milestone in the world but oh well. Crenk now has over 1000 followers on Twitter!!

Here at Crenk we are looking to build the community and discussions around web startups. If you have any questions or suggestions please get in touch.
UK based advertising network AdSmart, which also had its presence in India through its Delhi-based venture AdRevenue, has gone bust.
A source at AdRevenue informs Crenk that the closure of AdSmart won’t affect the business of AdRevenue, but the company will now operate under a new name, E-Spot Media Pvt Ltd.
There are obviously several sites that will now be out of pocket from this closure, such as Games2win who has already published an article about their loss.
If you have more information on the closure or have been using Adsmart please drop us a comment.
Armando Alves has put together a list of the top 150 Twitter users who blog about marketing and advertising and Crenk has made the list! Currently sitting at the 60th slot which is great. However, I’m not really too sure that we talk a lot about advertising and marketing, but guess sometimes we do. Anyways its great to be on the list!
Oh and make sure you follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/crenk
Everyday I have about 30 people start following Crenk on Twitter, but today I had a very interesting company show up. Tweetreplies is a new startup which sends twitter replies to your email address. I know there has been a lot of talk about this specific type of Twitter startup in the last week or so, especially with Twply.com. Unlike Twply (which sold for $1200 a few days after launching), Tweetreplies doesn’t require your Twitter username and password to actually operate. There are a lot people out there that have been talking about giving out their Twitter passwords to third party sites, so this is a great way to have a tool and not give up your password.
