Re: What does "Bing" mean?

"Bing is a recursive backronym, like GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix.". Bing stands for "Bing Is Not Google.""

I used to work at MSFT and no one seemed to know if that was actually the case or not (not that anyone spent a lot of time talking about Bing). I think they just shortened the word "Bingo." I don't think MSFT marketing has any idea what GNU is or the recursive convention.
