Bing is continuing to grow, nabbing search market share from Yahoo!
Bing has seen steady, month over month growth since it launched in May of this year. With the exception of the month of September, Bing has been doing quite well for Microsoft and in November, Bing rose once again. Unfortunately the search market share it managed to grab from competitors came from Microsoft's new partner, Yahoo!.
The LA Times cites ComScore numbers that say Bing captured 10.3 percent of search in last month, up from 9.9 percent the month before, with Yahoo!'s share decreasing by about the same margin. In November, Yahoo! saw its share drop from 18.0 percent to 17.5 percent.
As always, Google remains the leader with 65.6 percent. No surprises there.

3razorblaze42 , December 17, 2009 5:39 AMI've been using Yahoo for several years... recently the bastages (gamer lingo) changed the homepage layout and I'm kinda pissed off about it...Should’ve included an option to keep classic look. So I'm eyeing Bing, which is okay, but doesn't give me the search results I want when looking for porn... what? Yea I said porn. Google is much better for finding porn, but also a mecca for data mining... imho Google =The Devil
