Bing

I'm a fan of anything Google - gmail, G1, google reader, blogger. So when I read this NYT column on Bing, Microsoft's latest challenge to Google, I was skeptical. Still, some features seemed useful. On Bing, you can point to a search result and see a pop-up balloon that shows the first few paragraphs on text on the page. Saves you the trouble of clicking back and forth.

As the author notes -

People won’t start dumping Google en masse; Google is a habit. Everyone already knows how to work it, and it may be built right into your Web browser. But if you value your time, you should give Bing a fling.
