Bing Dips Toe Into Real-Time Search With Twitter Tie-In

Mac Daddy · Jul 2, 2009, 07:23 PM

More about Microsoft recently released Bing search engine has begun adding real-time Twitter More about Twitter updates from celebrities to its results.

So far, it has indexed the Twitter accounts of a few thousand people, Bing director Whitney Burk told TechNewsWorld.

Search results are tied directly to online ads. While adding real-time tweets may get more people to use Bing, it's not yet clear whether that will help Microsoft get more ads.
