It didn't take very long - less than a week - for Microsoft's Bing to surpass Yahoo Inc. to become the number two search engine in the U.S. and worldwide.
A report today from StatCounter Global Stats, which analyzes Web site traffic, also shows that Bing grabbed some market share from rival Google Inc. StatCounter analyzed search engine use on Thursday and found that while Google still dominates the U.S. search engine market with a 71.47% share, Bing grabbed 16.28% and Yahoo came in third with 10.22%.
