Microsoft’s bing has surpassed Yahoo Search
The monitoring service StatCounter has showed that for the second time since the launch of Microsoft’s Bing, it has surpassed Yahoo Search as the second most used search engine in the United States. Bing has proven to be a very solid product that many seem keen to try out even after a month.
According to the new stat, Bing took 12.9% of the U.S. market like comScore had earlier measured. With the good progress, Bing comes out ahead of Yahoo Search (10.15%), while Mountain View remains the undisputed king of the mountain with a U.S. market share of 75%.
“The jump in Bing?s share may reflect a positive review of the search engine compared to Google which appeared online in the New York Times on the 8th and in the print version on the 9th July.” said StatCounter CEO Aodhan Cullen.
After all, Microsoft has shown a remarkable drive to keep the momentum for its decision engine going, recently adding Twitter messages to search results and bringing the search platform to its Hotmail service.
Microsoft’s Bing had being working hard on its feature which initiated a layer of worries between the competitors. Google is not worried about losing its market in search market yet, while the other share holders in the field better be watching Bing’s progress very closely. Microsoft is doing it right, and users are noticing it too.
