Food Comparisons - You Choose

Hi All,

TwoFoods.com is a free website that gives users instant food comparisons.  Users can enter the name of one food in the first dialog box and the name of the the second food in the second dialog bog and click on the 'compare' button...and....
Almost instantaneously nutritional information about the two foods appears. Specifically users can find calorie information, carb, fat, and protein information.   Then, under these major categories are variations on a theme. 

For example, I chose to compare apples and oranges.  Under the main category of apples is a breakout of other types of apples - Gala, Red Delicious, Fuji and Granny Smith. On the other side of the table are navel oranges, clementines and California navel oranges.  
I also did a search for a Burger King Whopper vs a McDonald's Big Mac.  Interesting results, I might add...see table below. 


Category Whopper Big Mac
calories 770 530
carbs (grams) 56 47
fat (grams) 47 27
protein (grams) 36 24





Enjoy the site.

Bing vs Google - Which is the Better Search

Hi All,

Now that Bing has been out in the internet wilds for a few years now (actually released in 2009 - how long ago that seems!) we can get some really good answers as to which is the better search engine.  Read the rest of this post to learn more about Bing vs Google.

First stop should be a site called Bing vs Google.  Click here for the link. Users can enter a search and see side by side results from both search engines on one single page - which makes evaluating the search results much easier. 

Click here for a link to Wikipedia's entry for Bing.  Click here for a link to Wikipedia's entry for Google.

Click on this link for a site called Bing It On.  Basically a study was done that says Bing is better than Google.  This link will go into more detail as to how the study was done by the folks who created the website Bing It On.

This article from Digital Trends is fairly insightful...it discusses malware and Google and Bing.  And finally, from SearchEngineWatch.com comes this article about the future of searching and how the competition between Bing and Google is setting the pace for internet search in the future.

Enjoy the links and may the searching heat up and get better.

Regards,
Stu
