Microsoft launches BingTweets.com

amol2384286 views

While Google has been hinting about integrating real time search results for its organic searches, Microsoft has gone a step ahead and launched BingTweets.com.

BingTweets is an integrated search platform that combines results from Bing and Twitter. This is one of the most awaited search integration since the term “real time searches” became an instant hit with the success of Twitter. As a Twitter addict and a firm believer that real time searches is the future of organic search results I am excited about this integration.

BingTweets is a nicely designed site backed up with an amazing value proposition. The site has been developed with Federated Media who also Microsoft sponsored ExecTweets.com. With the launch of BingTweets Microsoft seems to be testing the potential of “real time searches” and has now positioned itself as a serious threat to Google.

It seems certain that there will be more Twitter integration from Bing in the coming months, according to the Bing team, “many people share their thoughts on Twitter, and search engines don’t 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.”

The real integration however would be to integrate real time search data from Twitter into Bing’s search results instead of displaying it side by side. For now Microsoft’s experiments with Bing seems to have paid off well.

whatever the search engines are available are not real time result producing and it is expected "real time results" from the search engines and it seems this is a step toward to achieve that goal in the organic search. .-= Free Movies´s last blog ..Paradise (1982) =-.

This is very interesting, and it's the first time I've read about it. While this is somewhat revolutionary from Microsoft, I'm ready to see what Google will release to compete with it. You know they have something up there sleeve somewhere. Good post, thanks for sharing.

OMG Bing and Twitter sounds like a monster force to be reckoned with! Especially since they can give you real time searches, what more can you ask for?

BingTweets.com is a different version of search engine where searching for real time content has become easier. after reading the post, I just tried BingTweets.com and was surprised and delighted to see the layout of the website. Its like a semi twitter. But yes i think it'll be easier to know about the current world ideas through this.

Bing made step forward, but they still need more popularity. For me personally Bing would never reach Google level. BING = Bing Is Not Google :)

This is really the best way to beat Google. It looks like Bing is taking the support of twitter to wrestle with Google in its endeavor to overthrow its supremacy.I welcome this!

Microsoft has done good job by launching bingtweets.com, I think it’s really useful for those folks who want search result with twitter updates at one place. This will make bing leap ahead from other competitors and will also stand at par with collecta.com. Thanks for sharing nice information.

I love the bing tweet updates. Google does it also. If there is an update on sports, I can usually search for it, then the tweets will give me an update or link to the story.
