Bing takes a little bite out of Google

Microsoft's Bing search engine again slowly inched its way higher on the ratings scale in August, according to the latest figures from industry watcher comScore.
However, instead of repeating July's performance by taking market share away from Yahoo, the second-place search engine and a major Microsoft partner, this time Bing has been showing some growth at industry leader Google's expense.
Bing picked up nearly a half a point of market share from July's comScore figures at 9.3 percent, up from 8.9 the month before. Meanwhile, Google lost 0.1 percent from the previous month, bringing its August ranking in at 64.6 percent.
