Bing.com, Microsoft’s latest search engine, has continued to grow for a second straight month while Google has continued to decline. According to comScore, Bing had a 8.9 percent search queries in the U.S. in the month of July, which is a 0.5 percent increase since June and a 0.9 percent increase since May.

Google and Yahoo both lost market share during the month of July. Google and Yahoo lost 0.3 percent market share, with down to 64.7 percent and Yahoo down to 19.3 percent. Microsoft and Yahoo have both recently announced Bing as the main search engine for both companies, which equals a 28.2 market share, which is not much higher than the 28 percent share in June. But will this increase for the second straight month help Bing when they take on Yahoo’s loss of share?

I’ve been using Bing a little more lately but I still end up going back to Google. One advantage Google has over Bing has been the faster aggregation of blogs on Google over Bing. As much I like to read news, blogs have a lot of content that provide various perspectives. Hopefully Bing can give Google some much needed competition, it’ll only make the searches on both companies, better and faster. Maybe one of them will finally break and offer Twitter updates in the searches. We can only hope.
