While we all laughed at Bing, Bing went quietly about racking up the pageviews, outperforming even Twitter. Holy crap. I wonder how many people are tweeting about it.
In fact, Bing is the 13th most-visited site in the US. Not close to Google by a long shot, but hey- not bad. No word yet on if "Bing" will be verbed.
According to Compete.com, Bing was able to amass 49.57 million unique visitors in its first month as Microsoft’s official search engine. Bing’s traffic trumps that of Digg (38.96 million) Twitter (23 million), and CNN (28.54 million). We want to stress that this focuses on U.S. visitors, since Compete does not track international visits.
So we don't yet know if Twitter is big in Japan, or if it's the Hasslehoff of search engines.

Love Bing! Clearly has a different algorithm than Google and I feel like I get much better, more relevant results. Plus, the pictures are so purty...

Starting to feel abit vindicated about Bing. Folks have not been kind when I said I use as my default search engine.

haven't used bing yet as a search engine. But a friend of mine persuaded me to try.
