Bing and Twitter to Integrate?
All of us that have called for more real-time search results or better Twitter integration, should have done a better job of spelling out our needs. Apparently Bing misread the memo. In a move that appears to have more bark than bite, Bing has announced the integration of Twitter with its search results. Before you leap for joy, the announcement is a non-starter. What we get is a few thousand...

More Money, Fewer Answers
Everyone is staring hard at Bing, Microsoft's new search engine, and I mostly like what I see, with one exception.

Search Engine Tug O' War
Like the phony war that marked the early months of World War II, the search engine wars have been pretty much lacking in combat. If it takes two to tango, it also takes two to fight a war and Google has so completely owned the field in search that to describe the resulting marketspace as a war has been about as apt as applying the term to when my younger daughter indulges in...

The Good and Bad of Bing
Poor Bing.com. It seems that for every good news I read, I read something equally pessimistic. Its gotten to the point where I think of Bing as the Grand Old Duke of York (bear with me if youre not English-born): The grand old Duke of York, He had ten thousand men; He marched them up to the top of the hill, And he marched them down again.
