Microsoft Bing integrates Twitter results

Microsoft Bing integrates Twitter results

Microsoft Bing team has announced that they have now integrated Twitter search results in the Bing search engine.

They are starting with a limited number of high profile Twitter users today. The aim is to get more real time search data in the Bing search results.

Microsoft Bing team however admits:

We’re not indexing all of Twitter at this time… just a small set of prominent and prolific Twitterers to start. We picked a few thousand people to start, based primarily on their follower count and volume of tweets. We think this is an interesting first step toward using Twitter’s public API to surface Tweets in people search. We’d love to hear your feedback as we think through future possibilities in real time search.
