Bing Twitter Maps
It’s really fun to see where people are tweeting from, via a mash-up between Bing Maps and Twitter. Nice job Microsoft !

After Bing and Google last week announcements on their real-time search, Yahoo is now said to have reached a deal with OneRiot to provide real-time search results in Yahoo results.
Techcrunch said Tuesday that Yahoo is planning to partner with OneRiot, which operates a real-time search engine and develops browser add-ons that do pretty much the same thing. The possible deal comes on the heels of separate plans announced by Microsoft and Google last week to integrate Twitter pages into their search results.
Note only Bing has launched real-time search on the site : bing.com/twitter.

Tweetbing = Bing + Twitter
October 21st, 2009It’s now official. As rumors were saying, Twitter opened its firehose to Bing, Microsoft’s search engine that launched a few months ago. No announcement with Google (yet), which means Bing is the first search engine to have access to Twitter real-time feed.
To test the product, go to http://bing.com/twitter, and enter your query, or choose one of the hot topic (in a tag cloud).
With this new product, Bing gets a small advantage over Google, and also becomes a competitor of Tweetmeme, as they provide top shared links in their results (which adds relevancy to recency). Those top shared links are based on quality of the tweet (we would say influence of the Twitter user), number of retweets, etc…
Nick Halstead, Tweetmeme Founder and CEO, just tweeted a comparison between both sites (unfortunately Twitter is down at the moment…)

Twitter to provide feed to Microsoft and Google ?
October 13th, 2009
According to Kara Swisher at AllThingD, both search companies (Google and Microsoft) are discussing with Twitter on deals to get access to Twitter Firehose. Bing did test it this summer with a few twitterers, but this deal would be bigger.
Twitter Firehose is “a special real-time feed of every single public Twitter update to be delivered over the open XMPP protocol” that only a few partners have access to (Twittervision, Zappos, FriendFeed, and Summize, initially). Because “despite delivery over a faster and cheaper technology, this entire public feed of Twitter updates is resource intensive”, Twitter “had to be very careful about giving it out” as they said in their blog post in July 2007, when announcing their first partners.
Google and Microsoft are certainly competing to have access to this real-time feed, so their search engine (Google and Bing) can become real-time search engines in addition to being -just- search engines.
Google and Microsoft, aren’t saying a thing, and the guys over at Twitter, apparently, weren’t immediately available… Let’s see what will be announced.
