30% marketshare? Source, please.

Most sources I follow -- and from colleagues that work at both Google and Bing -- Bing is operating in the mid to upper teens as a percentage of the market.

First result for "bing market share": http://www.businessinsider.com/bing-tops-30-in-us-2011-4

It's referring to Bing and Yahoo traffic, since Bing is the backend for Yahoo search now.

From the article:

"Since Microsoft entered the market, Google has nearly doubled its share at both companies' expense, but for the last year or so Bing has gained a few fractions of a point every month -- at least in the U.S.

Worldwide, Google still dominates with between 80% and 90% share, depending on who's measuring."

Not to pick on the result, but BusinessInsider is a poor choice as a reference. At least they point to results from Experian.
