Bing Pings Upward in July
Two months in existence have meant two months of increases in usage and market share for Microsoft’s new Bing search engine, as comScore said Bing accounted for 8.9% of search queries in the United States in July, up from 8.4% in June and 8% in May, The New York Times‘ Bits reported.
July brought drops of 0.3% to Google and Yahoo!, as they fell to 64.7% and 19.3%, respectively.
According to Bits, analysts were reluctant to read too much into the July figures.
