More Consumers Googling With Bing
Microsoft’s Bing search service continues to gather momentum, albeit slowly. Bing’s share of the U.S. Internet search market grew one percent in July, rising to 9.41 percent from 8.23 percent in June, according to metrics outfit StatCounter. Meanwhile, Yahoo’s share of the market declined to 10.95 percent from 11.04 percent. So together, Microsoft and Yahoo, thanks to their new alliance, claim 20.36 percent of the search market. Which is a hell of a lot less than Google.
“We love everybody,” Salesforce.com CEO Mark Benioff said recently. “We even love Microsoft…. This is our core strategy, love.” Yes, the SAAS enterprise applications vendor loves everyone, but none more than Google.
