Today is Bing’s fifth birthday and as you can see, we dressed up our site to celebrate the big day. Five years old! Truth is, they really launched on June 1, 2009 but they should have launched on June 3rd. Technically, Bing holds their birthday is June 3rd and not June 1st.

That being said, Bing has come a long long way. You can read the official post from Microsoft on their strides on the Bing Search Blog and a more less biased take by Danny Sullivan named At Five Years Old, Bing Has Come Far Yet Has More To Grow.

Honestly, I am surprised how far has come but at the same time, I am also surprised they haven’t come further in market share. Their search engine is pretty good for being only five years old but their market share doesn’t reflect it.

Here is Bing’s home page today and they encourage you to walk through the gallery of Bing home pages.

Happy Birthday Bing!
