#2The TC hype machine's two-step pass is operating at full efficiency:
1) Make a dramatic generalization from obviously-inadequate data. 2) Write a followup when better data proves it wrong.

#3Really, was this unexpected?
This can be summarized as "New search engine gets spike as people try it out of curiosity" -- I'd be surprised if there wasn't a temporary jump in users around launch time.

#4Is it just me or does Google seem rather quiet about Bing?
It seems that they don't see it as a threat at all.

What would you expect them to say? Anything they say simply draws attention to a competitor.

Uhm... where better data is the exact same source as they used before?

Better data is over a longer span of time.

Would you prefer that they not report on available data? Everyone knows that it's pop journalism, not a government commission report.
Arrington is closer to the tech Zeitgeist than he gets credit for on this site.

I'm not sure what you're saying. StatsCounter (the source of the data) reported that Bing was briefly a more popular referral than Yahoo, but that the trend has now reversed. If you don't trust the June 4th data, I can't see how you can then accept the June 6th/7th data. The time span over each day is exactly the same.

what if the down-trend is as short lived as that initial spike was? nothing has been proven wrong yet (based on your own argument, in fact.) the data isn't "better" yet.
