We found that report interesting as well. Good to see that Google may finally have some competition. This can only serve all parties well.

I like the fact bing.com is gaining shares. Google has been holding on them for too long now and in fact bing.com sometimes serves better results than google. What I like best about bing is their starting page. A beautiful picture blending with the functions… wow! Well-earned credibility on the web. Yet there is more share to grab.

I keep reading about the fast growth in popularity of Bing. I have used it, but I just can’t see the attraction.
Google still seems to give better results in my opinion.
