So, I got another message from Bing today – you know, the same people who are running the skewed ads poking fun at Google (for doing the same thing Bing’s been doing forever.)<\/p>\n

It’s a really cheery “Update” – sounds good so far… \u00a0then they drop the Bing Bomb… They’re taking away our ability to post deals or coupons for free. \u00a0Presumably, that means either:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You’ll soon have to pay to give away a coupon or<\/li>\n
  2. You’ll never be able to post another deal ever.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that’s supposed to be a good thing? \u00a0I just don’t get Microsoft. \u00a0Seems like they’re shooting themselves in the foot every time they turn around. \u00a0Maybe they’ve been hitting the “Bing-Bong” too hard.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \"bing-bong-no-more-deals\"<\/p>\n

    There name sounds a lot like “Google Places” – now called Google+ Local. \u00a0Not very original.<\/p>\n
