I’ve been on two diets recently and both have been a success:
- My 2000 calorie diet in preparation for the kayak marathon World Championships in September, where I’m racing doubles in the masters class.
- Going on a Bing Diet…
Yes, I thought it was time to give Bing a go and I found it worked! You can try the? search engine blind tase test and see for yourself! (popout)
(FYI as of July 2009 the overall results were:? Google: 41%, Bing: 31%, Yahoo: 28%)
The main difference between Google and everybody else is that they pad out their brand so we become too inert to move somewhere else for our search results. There is a high chance you use one or more of these? services? (wikipedia/popout) and every time you do, you probably love Google a little more for giving you some great service for free.
But if you are tired of the slow erosion of the search results with real time search, video search, news search, then maybe like me you might try a simpler easy engine like Bing.
And it seems I’m not the only one. According to Hitwise who published some interesting stats recently, it’ s all go for Bing!.
(Since this is a quick post, I’ve copied and pasted from Search Engine Roundtable:
Microsoft relaunched their search engine Bing on June 1, 2009, just over a year ago.
On June 1, 2009 Bing’s market share, according to Hitwise was 5.25%. A year later, according to Hitwise it is 9.85% share. If you do the math, that is about 88% growth year-over-year, not too far under double growth!
Here are some of the latest stats from Hitwise:
Of course, growing share from 5% to 10% is nice, but it still shadows Google’s share. In June 2009, Google had a share of 74.04%, June 2010 Google’s share is 71.65, so that is a 3% decline.
