I'm very far away from that bubble and I have yet to meet anyone who uses Bing either. And I know several people who still use Hotmail/Yahoo.



I use Bing... sometimes. They literally give you rewards points (that can be redeemed for Microsoft/Xbox gift cards) for searching. Pretty funny, the lengths they go to get you to use Bing...

Seems like Yahoo just uses the Bing API these days.

> Yahoo! Search is a rebadged version of the Bing search engine owned by Yahoo!, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

Given that they put it in the same category as Hotmail, I assume that they mean Yahoo Mail, not the search engine.
