Microsoft Wednesday began adding Twitter posts in Bing search results, has gained a bit of an obstacle on the competitors, although capacity is limited.
For now, Microsoft is the indexing of a few thousand people, mainly based on pupil count and the volume of tweets, "wrote Sean Suchter, managing director of Microsoft's Silicon Valley Technology Center Search, a company on the blog.
The company did not appear to work directly with Twitter ability to deliver. "We believe this is an interesting first step towards using Twitter public API surface Tweets in search of people," he wrote.
Search community has been increasingly talking about the amount of content on Twitter, since it may reflect popular public instant feeling and how to best capitalize on it. Although Microsoft has released Wednesday, is limited, is a coup for its recently launched product search at other major providers of search does not index recent Twitter messages.
Most search engines will display a link to a page of Twitter, and may prove some old Twitter messages. Microsoft offers we list recent individual messages, and other search results.
Suchter said the facility will be running slowly, so some users might not see Twitter messages immediately.
New capacity reaches the same day that a new study shows that Bing continues to grow slowly, possibly at the expense of market leader Google. Researchers say that the Bing StatCounter Microsoft has increased the share of search market, up from 1 percent in the U.S. in June, still trailing behind Yahoo and Google by a wide margin. While Google has lost a bit of market share during the month, it has 78.48 percent market share, StatCounter found.
