Bing to continue to tap into Twitter with renewed social search deal Microsoft ensured that its Bing search engine will continue to tap into real-time Twitter updates when the queries are relevant. We have been teaming up with Twitter for a few years to surface public tweets from people who may have something to contribute to what youre trying to get done with Bing, said Microsoft in an official blog post. Whether its a politician, celebrity, thought leader or friend, our renewed partnership with Twitter ensures that you have near real-time access to what people are tweeting tailored to what youre searching for.
