Mashable, specifically my friend Ben Parr, have a very interesting analysis concerning the torrid growth of Bing. You of course recall the storied tales of the explosive growth of Twitter, and a year ago Digg. Here’s a small piece of knowledge: Bing just passed them all, in about a month. Now, I know that the analysis is unfair, etc, but the graph tells a very interesting tale. Take a look:
Of course my personal site matters little in such a comparison, but compared to Bing, Twitter’s growth looks tame. Just remember that there were months when Twitter nigh doubled in size. Bingjust one from zero to warp speed in a second flat. I still use Google, but if I was Sergey Brin I would be sitting up and looking around with eyes squinted and a gun at the ready. Redmond has a winner on their hands, and Google cannot let that happen if they want to keep their ascendant P/E ratio.
Besides, Bing, stop making profitless web startups look bad.
