Challenging the Bing It On Challenge

I'm at work, and I wanted to try the challenge, but BingItOn redirects me to Bing.

Maybe it's not available outside the U.S.?

Bing's results are way less relevant to me than Google's, but Google does have the advantage of a lot more personal data, and a specific subdomain for my country (.uy) which often returns more relevant queries (OTOH for programming I often have to force the U.S. website).

That's the reason I don't use DuckDuckGo either, the results are vastly inferior for my use case (even though I want to like it).

You're correct, Bing It On is US only (although I believe there is also a Chinese version). As for Uruguay, we're always working to improve our international coverage - check back soon!

(Note: I work for Bing.)

Thanks matt :)

Competition is a good thing, I really hope you can improve on Google's results.

I do happily use a lot of other Microsoft products, so I know you'll give a good fight :)
