Bing Deals With Facebook And Twitter

Microsoft will announce the integration of real time status updates from both Twitter and Facebook into Bing at the Web 2.0 Summit today, we’ve heard from a source with knowledge of the deals. The announcement will be made by Qi Lu, President of Microsoft’s Online Services Group, later this morning.
The deals will integrate real time updates from users of the services into search results. Google and Bing aren’t good at pulling in this real time data today because of the need to constantly index user pages, and the difficulty in knowing when those pages have been updated. Users have turned to Twitter Search and other real time search engines like Topsy and OneRiot to get this information.
Twitter Updates On Google, Bing
Refusing to be upstaged, Google Inc.'s Internet search index will include public updates from Twitter's communications stream.
Google announced the Twitter deal on its blog less than three hours after Microsoft Corp., whose search engine is called Bing, trumpeted its own Twitter partnership at a San Francisco technology conference.
