Comments on: Microsoft Bing thinks Molly Wood is NSFW

To Microsoft Bing, Molly Wood is an unsafe search. But I can't prove otherwise without turning off safe search mode. Catch-22!

1. This article is totally untrue. I just "binged" your name with moderate safe search and got a screen full of images virtually identical to what google returned.

2. Your first lines say you're not trying to pile on, but the article itself indicates that piling on is precisely the point of the article.

3. Who googles themselves, anyway? People like you who are full of themselves.

4. Maybe you should wait until you have some actual content before you post your next article

5. Have a great day

by megallina June 15, 2009 4:36 AM PDT: Okay. Let's think about this.

1. Did you read the update to the article?
2. Point taken, perhaps, but maybe she wanted to not be piling on, even if that was what it sounds like. Hence the first sentence.
3. Apparently everyone except you. I would say everyone, but now I've found someone who doesn't! Haven't you ever wanted to know what your web presence is? Or just been bored?
4. It would be pretty cool if you had some actual content before you posted a comment.; Like this

I thought what you said was very interesting b/c I had not run into problems like that so I checked it out .. I went to Google and Searched images for "Molly Wood", and it returned almost same as your screen shots. Then I went to Bing with Safe Search on Strict (dont want anything popping up that I dont need to see lol) and searched for images on "Molly Wood" and it returned lots of the same pictures as Google.

Thanks,
Bobby; Like this Reply to this comment


by franklooper June 12, 2009 7:24 AM PDT: Ahh, didn't look far enough. In Videos, I found one of your CNet stories called "Hookers and Tech, Together at Last."

You're a very naughty girl!

Truthfully, Molly, it appears as if you stretched some truth for this article. You're all over Bing, even with safe search turned off, and on the first couple of pages, I saw a Molly Wood that was probably the other one. Bleached blond, too much eyeliner, etc.

Stop with the drama!!!; Like this Reply to this comment

I tried the same exact experiment on the search engines default setting and got no reference to porn stars, and all the pictures I recieved were fine. Not sure why everything Microsoft does warrants so much criticism from Molly, but its beginning to become a bit annoying. If you ever watch her on the Buzz Report every review she does is negative, and seems to be anti-microsoft. I have no loyalty to microsoft or google, but Molly really needs to get a grip.

Get a clue dude, after so many searches on her name, of course the search indexes on bing are bound to be updated eventually.; Like this


by enzoaeneas June 12, 2009 7:46 AM PDT: Actually, I think that Microsoft hear about this article and actually updated thier indexes with this Molly Wood, probably borrowing some from Yahoo too.; Like this Reply to this comment

I really think that Google myth is overblown; Like this Reply to this comment

by Alexcris96 June 16, 2009 1:22 AM PDT: Heey they fixed it! Now Molly Wood on bing images returns 4 copies of the same photo of Molly, a dog, a guitar, a fat man and a MOLLYWOOD thing (instead of Hollywood). It's not perfect, but they are doing something! Well, kind of..... :D; Like this Reply to this comment

by mttsndrs June 24, 2009 1:57 PM PDT: For those curious about "that guy," Mollywood can also refer to the Indian film industry in Kerala (in the Malayalam language). Similar to Bollywood, there are films from Mollywood, Tollywood, Lollywood, etc. :); Like this Reply to this comment
