@calum-cook I hope so too.

@twiz almost perfect then ;)

@hery Yea, it dropped again. Maybe the spike was just ppl giving Bing a try.....or....

@empirestatebuddy Nice graph! Thanks :) That one gives hope, let's keep an eye on that one.

@Alber1690 I dunno, I've not heard anything about updating accelerators. Depends on wether it's a Msft made accelerator or a third party one too I guess...

@mrx9898 It's Bing Bing...not Bang Bang :P

Some IE8 Accelerators have been acting buggy since the Bing launch. I had to manually find and update them to Bing for them to work. But the Bing Image Search and Bing Define still do not work properly. Has Microsoft acknowledged IE8 Accelerators and explained how they plan to update the set of Live Search ones? Some don't even carry the Bing logo (Define) or even install (Images).

Bing's market share dipped over the weekend, but seems to be recovering today (which is what I figured it would). People use the internet differently on the weekend than they do during the work week. Here's another website that tracks Bing's market share... marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx

It shows that Bing has been pretty consistent, with no wild spikes either way.

I've replaced Google with Bing on my systems but there's one area I still go to Google for. Technical issues. Doing a search for Access issues I was having, Google's first page was relevant, Bing's first 2 replies were about EndNote. When I want the exact match of words, Google just works better (for me).

Good. Live Search always deserved much more market share than it ever had. Let's hope it continues to increase its share even after the Bing buzz dies down. :)
