Google raises search lead, others decline: data

| Experian Hitwise reported that Yahoo's market 
| share dipped to 14.4% in May, from 15% in the 
| prior month, while Microsoft's share fell to 
| 9.2% from 9.4%. Yahoo and Microsoft have

Microsoft Slumps As Apple Trumps

,----[ Quote ]
| Fast forward to June 2010. Microsoft has lost
| 40% of the market in Internet browser use--
| Google's Chrome browser and the "open source"
| Mozilla Firefox browser control one-third of
| the market along with 100% of the media buzz.
| And in spite of years of effort, Microsoft
| owns a mere 3% of the search market
| worldwide, compared with 84% for Google.

Clearly Microsoft didnât do their homework regarding Bing

,----[ Quote ]
| Clearly, without a doubt Microsoft didnât do
| their homework regarding Bing.   When fortune
| cookies say âlearn Chineseâ and calls your
| search engine a disease it raises all sorts of
| red flags.
|
| Anyone speak Chinese?  Is this accurate or
| just some funny prank.   Does the word âbingâ
| mean Disease?   If it is,  itâs classic.
| Goes along the lines of the worst possible
| names for companies.

Boycott Microsoft Bing

,----[ Quote ]
| If you search a term on Bing that is
| politically sensitive in China, in English
| the results are legitimate. Search
| âTiananmenâ and youâll find out about the
| army firing on pro-democracy protesters in
| 1989. Search Dalai Lama, Falun Gong and you
| also get credible results. Conduct the
| search in complex Chinese characters (the
| kind used in Taiwan and Hong Kong) and on
| the whole you still get authentic results.
|
| But conduct the search with the simplified
| characters used in mainland China, then you
| get sanitized pro-Communist results. This is
| especially true of image searches. Magic! No
| Tiananmen Square massacre. The Dalai Lama
| becomes an oppressor. Falun Gong believers
| are villains, not victims.

NYT's Kristof: Boycott Bing

,----[ Quote ]
| Kristof's objection, outlined in a blog post
| this afternoon, centers around his
| observation that searches conducted using
| simplified Chinese characters in Bing return
| "sanitized pro-Communist results" not just
| in China but around the world. He questions
| Microsoft's claim that the results are
| determined by search algorithms, not its
| corporate policy. Here's an excerpt from his
| post.

Bing Search Tainted by Pro-Microsoft Results

,----[ Quote ]
| The first of the search results about the Microsoft Word question linked to a
| page about how expensive Manhattan is (Is Microsoft competing with Manhattan
| now?). The top responses to the "Is Microsoft Evil?" question were, get this,
| a link to a New York Times story about whether or not Google is considered
| evil, a link about proxy servers, and a link to a story about Microsoft being
| charitable. Wow.
