Bing Increase Search Share

By Stu on June 17th, 2009

Comscore has released the search market shares for this week and Bing.com is up to 12.1%. It is good to see some competition for Google in search, next needs to be advertising. Competition is good for the market and just like Microsoft needs Apple and Google to compete in the OS maket, Google needs some competition in search and advertising.
