For the second time since its launching, Microsoft’s newest search engine has surpassed Yahoo Search in terms of the most used search engine in the U.S.
The first time was on the day of its launching, which many thought was attributed to the “launch momentum”. Bing however proved them wrong as it its been a month since its launch.
The data comes from monitoring service StatCounter which shows Bing taking 12.9% of the U.S. market while Yahoo search only got 10.15%. Mountain View still takes the top spot raking in 75% of the U.S. market share.
Bing might still be far from Google’s share in the search market, but they are slowly making their way up and Microsoft’s doing a pretty dang good job. 🙂
