Bing Takes Share from Google, Yahoo
Sounds like a big deal right? Well, when the amount is just 0.5 percentage points, it's not quite as impressive. Still, winning any search share away from Google is a victory, especially when you consider how anemic Live Search was doing until Microsoft mercy-killed and replaced it with Bing.

Microsoft, which launched Bing in early June, racked up 8.9 percent of U.S. Internet searches in July, up 0.5 percentage points from June. Google, the leader in the market, and Yahoo, the distant No. 2, both lost 0.3 percentage points of market share in July, to 64.7 percent and 19.3 percent, respectively.
