"Bing was the first of the big search engines to integrate Twitter into results, albeit, not in the most exciting of implementations.  Today, Microsoft\u2019s fledgling  search tool is doing a bit more with Twitter, launching BingTweets, a separate site that combines Bing search with Twitter search and trending topics.\nFor example, search BingTweets for \u201CAll Star Game\u201D and on one part of the page, the Bing search results will load, and next to them, recent tweets containing the same term.  BingTweets also has a built-in option for tweeting the search result, as well as a \u201CTrending Topics\u201D box that extends beyond Twitter\u2019s top ten to include currently popular topics, places, people, and products.While a nicely designed, potentially useful service, BingTweets is not exactly the type of real-time search integration that many see as the huge potential of leveraging data from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites for better overall results.  Rather, it\u2019s designed to be another marketing channel for Bing, and in fact, was developed with Federated Media, who also launched the Microsoft-sponsored ExecTweets earlier this year (FM also sells ad for Mashable).\n\n\n\n\nIt seems certain that there will be more from Bing in terms of Twitter integration in the future, however.  The Bing team writes, \u201Cmany people share their thoughts on Twitter, and search engines don\u2019t currently do a great job of capturing that real-time content. We designed Bing to help you make faster, more informed decisions, and, since people often turn to real-time content to help them make decisions, BingTweets was a logical next step.\u201D\nThe step beyond that would be actually integrating data from Twitter into Bing\u2019s search results, as opposed to simply displaying results side-by-side on a separate landing page.  The current implementation isn\u2019t even a completely new idea \u2013 for example, this greasemonkey script shows Tweets in Google search results.  Nonetheless, Bing\u2019s willingness to experiment and try things that its competitors aren't doing has paid off for the site so far, as Microsoft was the only major company to increase its search volume in June."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
