Bing Search Engine - Now Number 2 in USA

Bing's search engine has recently overtaken Yahoo in the USA to become the 2nd most popular search engine. In August 2010, figures showed that Bing now has about 14% of the American search market, with Yahoo dropping slightly to just over 13%.

Obviously these figures are still miles away from the daddy that is Google, but it shows that people are now prepared to use other sources for their search habits. Google held steady with about 65% of the search market - still 4 times that of Bing.

So apart from Bing leap-frogging Yahoo, it seems it is still business as normal for Google and the way people search.

Since August 2009, Google still has about 65% - Bing now has 14% of the USA market and Yahoo drops from 16% to 13.1% - the other 8% or so is taken up by other search engines such as Ask.
