Marketing and Technology News

I like Bing. I really do. I would like to see a successful, viable alternative to Google for search. But there is some troubling news for Microsoft’s upstart search engine.

The widely-read Kim Komando reports that stats for Bing show that it has not eroded Google’s dominance in search at all. There is also a major issue with porn filtering. She even instructs users how to block Bing. Wow. Microsoft can’t afford this type of error as they try to make gains in search.

Here’s what Kim wrote today:

Microsoft Bing still far back in search

Bing has brought Microsoft little gain in search market share. In its first month, Microsoft’s share rose from 8 to 8.4 percent. All that came from Yahoo!; Google was unaffected. Yahoo! had 19.6 percent, and Google had 65 percent. If you’re using Bing, watch out for porn! Filthy videos are impossible to block.
