Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, may have passed Yahoo:

The company’s analysis for Thursday finds that in the U.S. Bing overtook Yahoo to take second place on 16.28%, with Yahoo Search currently at 10.22%. For the sake of comparison: Google’s U.S. market share is pegged at 71.47%, and its worldwide share at a whopping 87.62% (vs. 5.62% for Bing and 5.13% for Yahoo).

It’s got a long way to even come close to Google. Probably people are trying it out because it’s new. I just tried it on a post that I’m thinking about writing and all the links I found were old. How helpful is that?
