How else to find it?
One of the fastest rising
search terms for Google Australia appears to be the rival search engine
'Bing'.
Apparently while searchers want to find Microsoft's Bing they have to
use Google to do so. The term "Bing" appears as the seventh most searched
for keyword, just
behind "Twitter". The word Bing crops up again as the
second most popular search, also after Twitter, in the most searched for
product and service category.
Quite how effective a search engine is going to
be when you have to use a rival to find it, no one is certain. However web
metrics company Nielsen Online, Bing - which was launched in late May - made
no significant inroads into the Australian search-engine market during
June. Google says the fastest rising local search terms to date are "swine
flu", followed by "Susan Boyle", ‘‘MasterChef’’ and ‘‘stimulus
package’’.
For those who came in late Scottish singer Susan Boyle wowed the
world with her performances on Britain’s Got Talent, leads the celebrity
search stakes, followed closely by the late Big Brother contestant Jade
Goody. However the fastest rising searches list does show Australian's
favourite obsessions of 2009. We notice that porn and beer is
surprisingly absent, but the gay fashion reporter Bruno is on the list.
