This may be just the curiosity of the users and the hype created by Microsoft which may lasts may be 2-3 months.. I am just waiting to see how Bing shapes in next 6 months..

I suspect a similar historical analysis could be done in ~March 09 with the search-specific subdomains of the old live.com (search.live.com, images.live.com, maps.live.com, etc.) instead of *.bing.com and you'd still see uniques > than these big 3 (because MSFT search share as a % has only gone up 1 or 2 points, yet bing.com lead over digg.com in uniques is ~25%.)

The fact that now Bing.com is separate from Live.com should give us a lot better indication of how popular Microsoft's search service is, since the old Live.com numbers include both users who used Live Search and those who used the Windows Live services. Now we know that people go to Bing just to do search, and we can then use that information to do an apples to apples comparison with other sites. The MSN.com explanation is also not relevant, since that has been status quo all along. Even before Bing existed, MSN was redirecting search traffic to Live Search. Bottom line is - the metrics for Bing.com now are clean numbers for users who are only using Microsoft's search service, and it should be interpreted as such.

In just a month. So there's more than just traffic transference going on here.
