The latest study from ComCast into the US search engine market shows that Bing only saw a 0.1% increase from 9.3% to 9.4% from August to September, while Google increased by 0.3% to 69.9%.
It’s mostly Yahoo taking the biggest hit on the risings from Bing and Google as they saw a decrease of 0.5% to 18.8%.

I seem to remember you have spoken well about Bing in the past too. I’m glad you like it. For me though, it’s not really “clicking” yet. I try it every now and then, but just for the fun of it.
