Bing.com Search Share
July 1, 2009
Short honk: I relished the write up in Digital Trends about Microsoft’s share of the Web search market. The title of the article was “Bing Boosts Microsoft Search Share One Percent.” The data were interesting, but the segment I liked was:
Globally, Microsoft also saw gains from Bing’s debut, seeing its share of global Internet search jump from 3.08 percent in April to 3.30 percent in June; however, most of that gain appears to have come at Yahoo’s expense, which saw its global share decline from 5.48 percent to 5.15 percent over the same period. Google almost completely dominates the global search market, with a share of 89.80 percent.
Progress but the “dominates” was amusing.
