What the heck is Bing.com?

The Internet Search market has evolved over the past 10 years. The first leader was Yahoo who was the leader of the Internet Search Engine market between 1994-1998. Who would have thought that searching for NBA Fantasy Basketball statistics would lead to the development of Yahoo. Yes, Yahoooooooooooooo started from two young college students at Stanford University who wanted a better way to find NBA Fantasy statistics. Then in 1998, two young students by the name of Larry Page and Serge Brin from the same Stanford University decided to work on a graduate research project involving a better way to search the Internet. This project has turned into one of the most popular search engines in the U.S market and the world. This project is now called Google. Google.com is now used by 64 percent of Americans as of last month. The next closest competitor was the former leader Yahoo who currently has 21 percent of the American Search Engine market. Finally, Microsoft who has dominated the PC Operating System and Productivity Software market has approximately 8 percent of the American Search Engine market has failed miserably in the last 10 years to gain any more market share on Google or Yahoo. Therefore, for the past two years, Microsoft has tried to purchase Yahoo without any success. The recent CEO ousting of Jerry Yang has finally put Microsoft in a position to maybe strike a deal for Yahoo or Yahoo's Search Engine. In the meantime, Microsoft has been quietly working on a new Search Engine which is set to launch to the public next week on June 3rd. What fancy name did they come up with???
