Bing- getting ready for the assualt

Microsoft successfully launched bing this year with much fanfare, positioning it as a decision maker rather than just being a search engine. Initially Bing challenged the giants google and yahoo for their market share and to that many laughed. Now after six weeks bing has gained it's self respect, the search engine has been positively rated by many blogger's,techie's and favourable write-ups from influential writers for the quality of results,also the design and it's features.Reports from more than half a dozen companies that measure search and search advertising all point to upticks in Microsoft’s business since the release of Bing. Microsoft said on Monday that its internal numbers showed its search traffic growing 8 percent in June. (ComScore, whose reports are closely watched, is expected to release figures for June on Tuesday.)
Still, Bing remains a distant third in the search engine race. It has to triple its audience to catch Yahoo — and grow eightfold to match Google, which accounts for 65 percent of searches in the United States.Analysts say that Bing’s solid start gives Microsoft a chance to finally sharpen its assault on the search business although it has a long time to go. this great start of bing can actually lead to the partnership of yahoo and bing a.If this happens then google would have a serious competitor to think of..as of now Bing has to fight alone it's been less than a month after Bing’s release, Microsoft beat Google and Yahoo to a hot new area in search: It became the first major search engine to index new postings from popular Twitter users almost immediately. The move has helped amplify the buzz around Bing. well lets see if bing can actually bang bang google :) (i know that's a bad one)...
