Bing announced they have added Quora content to the Bing Social Bar.

Quora is a question and answer web site organized by users across the web - it is a social answers site.

Here is a picture of the implementation:

Quora explained that privacy controls are controlled with this. They said content on Bing works with the general search engine privacy setting on Quora, so if you prefer not to share off of Quora to search engines, that is always an option on your Quora settings page at www.quora.com/settings.

So now, Bing has the following providers on their social bar; Facebook, foursquare, Twitter, LinkedIn and Quora.

Folks at WebmasterWorld are feeling like Bing is giving up on search. One person said, "again they can't provide relevant answers through their search algorithm?" "Seems like Bing is giving up on search," he added. But really?
