haha yep! It's annoying as hell that we have to do that but "whatevs". Google will switch their algos soon enough anyway, they always do. We just have to keep on keepin on.

Well personally i use duckduckgo as a default for my chromium browser which has SSL encryption and also better results blocking spam results. This is what i use most of the time for my research projects and all.
I use Google only for SEO or finding pirated apps, music and such.
and its really easy to switch between search engines on chromium browsers. so using any search engine is just a keyword away. If you don't know how to customize your search engines on Chrome, try this

I also don't like Google going through my email and telling me who to add on G+.
And they say Facebook has privacy issues.

Yeah yeah, Google is evil. And it directly or indirectly pays SEOs 30 to 50 times more than bing ever will.
Making bing as your default search engine doesn't accomplish anything when you're a SEO. If you're into SEO -- where stuff ranks in Google matters. Where stuff ranks in Bing doesn't matter.
If Google personalization bugs you, log out. Takes 1 click. Do your searches while logged out. In fact, if you're really a SEO -- you have to do this anyways, because the real results you need will get skewed if you're logged in.

As I already said, after "Search plus your world" its not just a matter of signing in/out... there are 56 other factors that Google admit they use to provide personalized results :/
Take a look at the image below:

For this logged-off case,
how do you know Bing is not doing the same?

I'm trying to come up with an analysis of the new situation for myself, but having trouble doing so.
Prior to this, if you were ranked #1 and your competitor #30, then that's how it was. Now, if the competitor has 2 +1's in that particular search user's circles BAM they're #1.
But it's not just who has the most +1's. If you have a single +1 in your circles that obviously weighs in way more than thousands of junk +1's. So the new "page rank" in social linking is actually getting into users' circles. Building fake accounts and +1'ing yourself doesn't do shit for your rankings, it just looks nice to users seeing that thousands +1'ed you. But I also see blogger 'sharing' weighs heavily, 'sharing' (I don't ever go on google+, is that just +1'ing?) weighs heavily. And, it still looks like the natural results play in. As in a single 'in circle' +1 for who would've been #1 in natural results seems like it weighs more heavily than two 'in circle' +1's for who would've been #30?
We've got a whole new game complete with a whole new algorithm here, but yet it only effects google+ users for these particular cases.

Microsoft have basically grown up I think.
Remember when they were seen as "bad boys" they werent that old, 10-15 years, now its a 30yr old company and have lots of experience of what works and what doesnt.
The oldest net companies at best are like 15 years old, and still have some growing up to do...they are just teenies and we know what a pain in the ass teenies can be!
