Bing has certainly increased its share since its launched. From 7.5% to almost 10% in 6 months and has launched loads of new features including Twitter Tweets, Wolfram Alpha Answers, Freebase Quick Answers, Visual Search etc – all these are not in Google so far. So it’s giving Google a tough challenge. Partnership with Yahoo will surely give them a good boost and scale to move on.
