Title: could this be what saves Bing?

Considering what has driven so much progress online, could porn be the saviour of Bing?

OK, probably not. Great link bait though

I didn't know this.

I've had better luck finding current news articles about Ubuntu phone on Bing mobile than any of the others.

G search continues to get worse, and I think that is Bing's only hope. A couple years ago when search failed at G, B often would suck as bad or worse. Now I find myself hitting Bing much quicker and often getting good results that G didn't offer up.

That said, just this week I was thinking about what % of internet traffic is pron.

We used to see really high numbers back in the day, but with torrenting, streaming, youtube vids, social media in general, etc. it has to be a much smaller chunk now.
