It’s obvious that Microsoft (with its Bing search engine) has been busy trying to mount a serious challenge against Google’s dominance in the search business. Unfortunately it ran into a tiny pothole on Thursday evening when the Bing.com website went down, resulting in a browser error letter when users went to the site. Microsoft has since acknowledged the issue on Twitter, and has confirmed that it’s looking into the matter. Do you recall when Google’s main site was down?

While Google is doing quite well (to say the least) with its search business, it’s great to see that Google is still paying attention to details and willing to try out new stuff. Google’s vice president of search product and user experience has said that Google will soon start analyzing a new permanent sidebar on its results page. It seems that users are happy with that direction that Google is taking, and it would certainly help us filter through the giant pile of details from Google.
