With the visitor boost from the initial launch pretty much past us, Bing has continued to pump money into a high-cost marketing campaign that continues to run on television networks around the country, and keep the number of unique Bing visitors steadily on the rise.
In just one short month, Bing has some how managed acquire more unique visitors than CNN, Digg, and Twitter. No easy feat considering the fact that Bing's was launched only a month ago where as Twitter has been working on building it's image for two years.
Interestingly enough, Compete's data shows shows Live.com having more unique visitors than Bing still, which does beg the question of just how effective Bing's marketing efforts have been (in all fairness though, Microsoft does have other services operating on the Live doamin, hotmail being one of them).
Live and Bing's lines are obviously on their way to crossing, but assuming Compete's numbers are close to accurate (as of 06/20), Bing still has quite a bit of growth left to go just to get itself back to Live.com numbers. Where Bing's growth goes from there is the million dollar question.
