Not to be out done by Google, Microsoft's Bing has sealed a deal with Twitter and Facebook allowing them to search your tweets and status updates in real-time.
Here's how it works:
"The 'tweets' will be integrated universal-search style, ranked alongside the other [different types of] results, and you'll be able to click on those results and go to a page that shows only 'tweets' and real-time updates," said Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience, in an interview after her appearance on stage at the Web 2.0 Summit to announce the news. Users will also be able to restrict results to Twitter posts from the get-go using the engine's filtering controls."
It is worth mentioning there is no exclusivity to this deal and Google has also made an agreement with Twitter to search and offer them up to their searchers as well.
The War of the Search is here. Bing is definitely trying (really hard) to eat Google's lunch.
