'Linux Crowd' Prefer Google Search To Bing - Survey
According to a report released on friday last week by Chitika, an online advertising network - Linux users overwhelmingly choose Google as their preferred search engine ahead of the enhanced Microsoft Bing. The statistical data put Google at 94.61% ahead.
Google privacy issues though not withstanding, also given Microsofts Bing rising profile, Google overwhelmingly soars ahead of Bing. While it's not surprising that Linux users would shun a Microsoft-sponsored search engine, it is surprising that they so heavily congregate around just one search engine.
Perhaps Google's stunch position in the search business accounts for the wide choice accorded it by this highly disparate community. Linux community being the crowd that has created literally thousands of Linux distributions cutting across Open source Apps, after all, is all about alternatives.
Chitika analyzed data from 163 million searches across its advertising network between July 30 and August 16, and came up with the above graph.
