Bing overtakes Yahoo in global search wars | |
|

It didn't take very long - less than a week - for Microsoft Corp.'s Bing to surpass Yahoo Inc. to become the number two search engine in the U.S. and worldwide. A report today from StatCounter Global Stats, which analyzes Web site traffic, also shows that Bing grabbed some market share from rival Google Inc. StatCounter analyzed search engine use on Thursday and found that while Google still dominates the U.S. search engine market with a 71.47% share, Bing grabbed 16.28% and Yahoo came in third with 10.22%. "It remains to be seen if Bing falls away after the initial novelty and promotion but at first sight it looks like Microsoft is on to a winner," said Aodhan Cullen, CEO of StatCounter, in a statement. "Steve Ballmer is quoted as saying that he wanted Microsoft to become the second biggest search engine within five years. Following the breakdown in talks to acquire Yahoo at a cost of $40 billion, it looks as if he may have just achieved that with Bing much sooner and a lot cheaper than anticipated." | ||

| If... and I do mean 'if' Microsoft can hold the No. 2 spot, I would expect Yahoo's stock to start tanking. It will be all downhill for Yahoo from here. |

Yea... I'll be surprised if this is true and if it is if MS can hold it.
Bing.com is good for me so far, but far too few normals out there know what the hell it is for it to be #2 already. Of course that's from my small vantage point. |

#2 Why am I not surprised. Thanks for the follow up.
Personally I like Bing and enjoy the enhanced interface. |

Another thing. Many users computers have been 'binged'. Whenever they mistype a URL, it now brings up the bing page.
I suspect half the hits on bing should not count. |

| #5 And every search performed in Microsoft, MSDN and all the other pages. |

| I predict they will change the name again before the year is up. |

Expect the Nazis . . . er . . . EU to sue the crap out of Microsoft just as soon as they extract another billion or so for their "transgressions" against Opera.
Meanwhile, you have to be amused that Yahoo! himed and hawed over the delicious deal that Microsoft offered them over a year ago now . . . Yahoo! is getting Binged! lol |

#8: Expect the Nazis . . . er . . . EU
Mr. Godwin, you've arrived! Meanwhile, you have to be amused that Yahoo! himed and hawed over the delicious deal that Microsoft offered them over a year ago now . . . Um, hate to break it to you Champ, but Yahoo has been telling MS to eff off for the past year. Also, the word you were struggling with was 'hemmed'. When I type 'himed' into Firefox, it flags it as a spelling error. You should check out a superior browser to ensure that you don't put your foot in your mouth again with your shaky grasp of English. Yahoo! is getting Binged! lol You need to try harder to keep up. Bing beat out Yahoo for #2 for about twenty minutes or so before traffic levels fell back to Live! (read: lousy) proportions. |
