Mashable reports that Bing is gaining some “tale of success, as Bing is now the 13th most visited site on the web.” The report cited Compete.com’s U.S. numbers with Bing amassing 49.57 million unique visitors during its first month, surpassing Digg’s 38.96 million, Twitter’s 23 million, and even CNN’s 28.54 million.
The report concluded that Bing has got “a long way to go before it can begin to challenge Google’s top position in search.”
I agree that any effort towards search would only matter if it can find a way to compete with the almighty Google. But more than the numbers, which can be misleading or can be interpreted differently, my only gauge of success is if becomes part of our day-to-day verb… like, “I’ll Google that.” OR “Can you please Digg this.” OR “Let me Twit that.”
“Can you please Bing that.” Hmmm, not yet.
1st i didnt get this point(on mashable) how are CNN and Digg bigger than Twitter?? any way leave that as far as bing is concerned..i thnk Bing has the the potential… especially coz of it excellent image and video search… no doubt big is here to say… but will it be able to out shine google? i am still (yes still) skeptical… but yeah Yahoo sure has a reason to worry…
