Famous Twitter users searchable on Bing
CommentsMicrosoft, vying with Google and Yahoo for Internet users, will include updates from Twitter in its new Bing search engine.
Bing will initially display Twitter feed entries, or tweets, from prominent users of the social-networking site, Microsoft said Thursday in a blog posting. Users who search for names such as Al Gore along with the word Twitter will get the former vice president’s latest tweets and a link to see more. Microsoft released Bing last month in a bid to climb out of the No. 3 spot in the Internet search market. The new feature is part of an effort to get more “real-time data” into search results, the company said.
