Yesterday, during the Keynote with the SVP of Microsoft, Bing introduced a way to search Twitter and Facebook using bing.com/social.
As of 10pm (EST), 10 hours later, the feature which should have been live 10 hours ago, is still not live. I hope by the time this post goes live, that bing.com/social shows more than just an error page:
When it does go live, the features demoed should include:
- Status updates and shared links from Facebook fan pages
- Aggregate shared link data for non-fan pages
- New home page with trends from Twitter and Facebook data
- Better ways to filter and sort Tweets and Facebook updates
But until then, it is kind of hard to play with.
A WebmasterWorld thread has one response that doesn't seem positive:
Ugh. UGH!
Anyway, time will tell.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
Update: It does now seem to be live.
