Bing searches to include Twitter results
Microsoft has announced a new feature for its Bing search service, which will allow users to receive information on Twitter posts. The new service generates results from thousands of "carefully selected" Twitter users, according to Microsoft, including its own employees, search experts, bloggers and personalities such as Al Gore.
"Today we are unveiling an initial foray into integrating more real-time data into our search results, starting with some of the more prominent and prolific Twitterers from a variety of spheres," wrote Sean Suchter, general manager at Microsoft's Search Technology Center, in a blog post.
"This includes tweets from folks from our own search technology and business sphere, like Danny Sullivan or [technology columnist] Kara Swisher, as well as those from spheres of more general consumer appeal like Al Gore or [American Idol host] Ryan Seacrest."
