Is G loosing searches to Bing?

[expertc]

Recently I have noticed interesting tendency. Many of my sites that mostly interest 14-18 years olds (e.g. bikes, games, certain makeup, etc.) are getting more and more visitors from Bing.

Do you think that teens are considering Bing as “cool” and Bing is starting to "pull searches out" of G for that age group? Have you noticed the same?

I think for the above age group it is even more noticable. If they do stats by age than the results might be interesting...

I've noticed it a fair bit on a few of my sites.

Is it only because of Pc sales in the Christmas month with Bing as the Default search engine until people figure out how to change it to g?

I don't think so... Looks like teens are considering Bing as "cool" and G as more for grown ups... I also think it has something to do with Facebook.
