So for every 100 clicks Bing was getting before Microsoft spent a brazilian dollars on advertising, it's now getting 113 clicks. If I worked on Bing I guess I'd be happy about the bump, but it seems awfully expensive...
Also, how many clicks did Bing start out with? Is this actually as significant bump in market share as compared to Google?

Their click share is about 5%, way behind Google and Yahoo. The trend would have to continue for a long time to count as a foothold...
Bing results do seem impressive to me (atleast comparable to google) , but I guess I got kinda used to the UI and feel of google homepage that I find it hard to switch.
I thought so too initially, but after using Blind Search for two days to get an unbiased view, I still think Google is the best, Bing is about on par with Yahoo, and Yahoo is better than I thought.
Bing and Yahoo fail badly on longer searches (i.e. several keywords rather than one) and (Bing especially) on ambiguous words.

Perhaps someone could write a greasemonkey script to give me easy links to those tools from Bing.com instead? :o)
Before anyone says it, yes, I'm fully aware I could just add them to my bookmarks bar, but I'm used to the way things work now and it would confuse me for weeks to come changing my daily routine.
