I'm not that kind of guy, we would be face to face so we could see each other, I'm no animal...

BTW he's lying, we are at his favorite bondage bar. I told him I was in the area and I would wear my slutiest dress so he came to the hotel and picked me up.

I use it for checking plane ticket prices. I like that it tells me whether prices are near their lows and whether I should wait to buy.

It's the standard search engine at work. But that quickly changed once I re-learned Internet Explorer (still feel gross).

The Bing Maps was sweet a few years ago. They had the 45* aerial maps in lieu of Street View around 2009-2010. Was pretty sweet when I was messing with GIS. Now that Google has the same, I don't bother much with Bing.

I use Bing Maps at times for the aerial back drop when researching sites, but rely mainly on Google. Google's aerial coverage is more complete, but for some areas Bing's is more recent...Just depends on the area. Google's Streetview is the most invaluable feature. I can do site locates without going to the site!

Welcome to GA. I froze my balls off this morning riding before work. Think we are finally out of winter though hopefully, so you picked a good time to come!

I work in the GIS industry, and a lot of companies prefer using the Bing imagery over google or ESRI stuff. They have a nice hybrid (satellite + street names/etc) that zooms in real close (this is important in a lot of industries).

ESRI imagery is free, you have to pay for the Bing stuff. But ESRI software (licenses really) depending on what is needed can sometimes not be cheap.
