Bing integrates Twitter

Monday, October 12th, 2009

We’ve seen Search Engine Watch post about Microsoft’s new Bing search engine integrate some Twitter results from celebrity types. Although we’ve yet to see if Bing has long term sustainability it’s easy to say this could become something we could see Google copy.

We’ve seen Google integrate images, videos and maps into its search results, how long before we begin to see tweets related to your search start to show up? With all the buzz surrounding Twitter, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this integration, but I’m not exactly sure it would be for the best.

How about you? Is there a possibility Google copies Bing Twitter results in a more general manner? And if they did, would it be useful for searchers?
