I just tested Bing.com vs Google.com on a TenleyTown.net search!

I was prompted to look for a community portal that HelpEarth Foundation runs called TenelyTown.net. On Bing.com It looks like Bing bends over backwards to not give a searcher information about it.  Since this is a top level domain and it is contextually relevant to people searching for anything about TenleyTown let alone putting the whole url in the search box there has to be some kind of exclusion of this domain from it's search results.

What kind of search engine can't find a Top Level Domain?  How is that even possible.     


I also did the same thing for Google.com and they seem to do a pretty good job finding the information about the site which is what you would expect.

I'll ask someone I know at MS about this and see if they have an explanation and post it back here. Hey, if you have one please leave a comment on the blog about what you think is happening.

PS Goes to show that having more than one source of information is always a good thing.

In Earth's crust, silicon is the second most abundant element after  oxygen , making up 25.7% of the crust by mass According to Wikipedia    I have heard read and thought about the concept of moving from a carbon based energy to silicon and from the esoteric community that we are literally moving from carbon based to ...

Socialmedia experts, wait just another 4 years or 6,552 hours

I am invoking the 10 Year Rule on this whole Socialmedia  Expert thingy (webpreneurs too) United across all fields of study is the agreement that expertise is both explicit and implicit and the latter is well considered to take some time.  As it turns out according to William Chase and Herbert Simon it's 10 years. They made this statement after studying chess players. ( click here for reasonable explanation as to why chess masters) as subject matter for what it takes to be considered expert minds.  In his book OUTLIERS Malcom Gladwell broke it down to 10,000 hours which if you think about is about at 5.5 hours of it a day everyday. . Funny one of last nites Grammy nominated, presenters said that they were humble and willing to wait since 1 of the bands nominated for best new band had been around for 10 years.     So lets look at Socialmedia.  For most this has been around for a very short time in fact so short that in 2006 I put up ...
