Y’know, Bing is becoming handy these days. Though Google does provide recent Twitter updates about subjects, it doesn’t offer the ability to search. Bing…does.
Head over to bing.com/social and you’ll see some of the new features as they launch today. According to the Bing Community blog, Bing Social has the following in store:
- Status updates and shared links from Facebook fan pages
- Aggregate shared link data for non-fan pages
- New homepage
The status updates and shared links will pull information from various sources, including local TV station listings for applicable topics. For information that is not included on a Facebook Fan Page, Bing will pull content from pages of users who have allowed it via their privacy settings.
