I'm not a fan of Google. I think they're constantly violating people's privacy and the only company I know that's worse is Facebook. I'm not on Facebook. And in terms of Google, I am doing my very best to find alternatives for every one of their services, including switching to Bing Maps from Google Maps. Problem is, I can't figure out how to get "directions from here" in Bing Maps. Can you show me?
I know you're a big fan of the Googleplex and everything the company does, Dave, but my boss and I both prefer Bing as our search engine. Thing of it is, I want to be able to construct some fairly sophisticated searches where I exclude certain domains, search for phrases not words, etc. Is it possible on Bing to do advanced searches?
I like using Yelp and reading people's comments on different restaurants and other venues, but I am constantly baffled by how it shows restaurants ten or more miles away from the area I'm searching and how there's no "sort by ratings" option. How do I just find the best rated restaurants in a given city on Yelp?
