Some good news for Yahoo! It’s share of US searches in September reached 20.2%–up from 19.6% in August.
Bad news for Google. It’s share dropped a massive 0.1% from 63% to just 62.9%–that should freak out the Wall Street boys.
The good news for everyone? The data comes from comScore, which means that it probably has a treasure chest of excuses ready–in the event this all just one big rounding error.
PS. Please don’t panic about the Google drop, it has been known to happen before. 
PPS. If you care about Microsoft, you can check out whether it gained or lost, here.

I never thought I would see the day when Google started to loose its grip. Lets just wait and see how accurate the numbers really are.

Who cares about Microsoft’s share. Their Search Sucks! Their own employees don’t use Live Search (when they are at home).
