“One thing, we’re certain most will agree on is that no matter how many revamps and rebrands, its the functionality behind the search app that counts”

Not exactly true. Yahoo and MS search functionalities are much closer to Google then the their search brands and market shares are. If you fins something on Google, there is the great probability that you would find the same thing using Yahoo or MS search. However, 70% of people are using Google.

So this time, it is the game of brands.

‘Bingo’ (as in ‘that’s exactly what I was searching for’) was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about Kumo’s potential rebranding to Bing.

Cool, is that the new Bing Logo? I love it.
Will they keep live.com too, I wonder what happens to my @live.com email addresses.

Will there be email@bing.com?

‘Bing’ has a nice ‘ring’ to it because it rhymes. It has otherwise no context to searching for information.

Google at least has etymological roots to googolplex, akin to it’s search engines capacity.
