Bing Announces Bing Twitter search now in Beta

Well the news of the day is the deal struck between Microsofts’s Bing Search engine and Twitter. Bing has made the official announcement on the Bing Blog.

   An exerpt fom the post

Search needs to keep up. Shortly after we launched Bing, we did an experiment with the team at Twitter, where we took a fairly small number of “celebrities” from Twitter and provided access to their tweets as part of the search result. Here is a great example.

But what if we take that to the next level? What if we indexed basically the whole public Twitter stream and made it available to customers?

We’re glad you asked that. Because today at Web 2.0 we announced that working with those clever birds over at Twitter, we now have access to the entire public Twitter feed and have a beta of Bing Twitter search for you to play with (in the US, for now). Try it out. The Bing and Twitter teams want to know what you think.

How does this all work?

Were you as fascinated by the 6-year-old boy floating away in a balloon as we were? Was it a hoax? We know that people are going to twitter more and more for information surrounding all the latest chatter.

You can now search for what people are saying all over the web about breaking news topics, your favorite celebrity, hometown sports team, and anything else you use Twitter to stay on top of today.

What will this mean for the search engine world? What will this mean for Twitter users now that tweets will be going into live search? We would love to hear your thoughts on this. Click here To check out the Beta Bing Twitter search ( if thie link does not work keep checking back)
