Bing on the Roof

It’s been a while… a pretty busy one. But I wanted to share a couple of upcoming events I’ll be at. First one will be PubCon in Las Vegas. Just booked my flights and Hotel today and am really looking forward to meet a lot of people and spend some “quality time” at the casino PubCon will be all networking for me – so nothing to organize and 100& free schedule till now. Please do let me know if ur attending and want to meet for a chat or a coffee or just say hi.

Next up will be SES Berlin just the week after… (dammed that’s pretty close) Stefan Weitz will be here in Germany again. First in Munich for a Münchner Kreis  appearance and a couple of surrounding events including an exclusive dinner event.  There will be a lecture of Stefan at the FH Würzburg as well as an DPE event here at the Microsoft offices in Munich. After the weekend we will be off to SES Berlin where Stefan will be speaking. I’m kind of still working on organizing a booth and some giveaways – any good idea drop me a line (am thinking Bing Shirts till now).

Video Interview: Stefan Weitz talks about the future of Search

The two facts that did stick in my head the most were that 65% to 80% of all people were happy with their search engine. Quite a difficult situation when you want to get into a market like that. And fact number two was that 53% of all the people that are so happy with their search engine expect to be disappointed when trying to complete certain tasks with a search engine.

Stefan asked the audience what they would do if their car would only start 1 out of two times – that nicely illustrates how almost bizarre the situation with search efficiency today is. Almost like what has been described as Stockholm syndrome – we the users/hostages would love the search engine although it continues to disappoint us – weird.

Stockholm Syndrome – 53% of users expect to be disappointed but still love search

We did talk a little bit about what Microsoft is up to regarding Search in Europe and other hot topics in the search world. I didn’t come empty handed and brought a fab price package for the listeners to win. The one person that would proof to us that he or she is the biggest Microsoft Fan Boy ever will get a full conference pass to the SMX Munich 2009, a VIP ticket to the search bash party co-sponsored by the Webmasters on the Roof, a spot on the invitation list to the exclusive “Let’s face it” Live Search event @ the Microsoft offices here in Munich and last but not least a Xbox360 gaming console.

People can enter the contest by simply commenting to this blog post with anything that comes to mind be it photos, videos, audio or simply text. The winner will be chosen Tuesday next week – and we are eagerly awaiting the submissions
