Twitter Profitable After Deals with Microsoft and Bing
In a deal signed in October, Twitter agreed to allow the search engines Google and Bing to feature search results containing tweets. This is Twitter’s first major breakthrough in profitability and the deal is said to have been for $25 million, which is not bad considering the site was started in March of 2006 as a side project. At first, Twitter was more focused on adding subscribers rather than generating a profit, and today, there are over 20 million Twitter users in the US alone! If you haven’t already, I strongly encourage you to create a Twitter account today. Not only is it a great social media tool, it is also a great way of driving traffic to your blog or website.

BING search engine is just as good as Google. In my own personal experience, Google does give more releveant search result than Bing but the difference is very small. **
I find it unbelievable how quickly all these comment sections change into childlike flame battles..

my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.
You’re right, Heather. Bing and Yahoo are working together now to try and capture more of the search engine market. Bing has full access to yahoo’s search engine, although they are still way off Google’s numbers.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I’d have to agree with you, Kymm. For now, Google still owns the internet in my eyes, but you’ll notice in my post http://entrepreneurstechnology.com/top-search-engines-of-2009-seoconsultants that Bing is on the rise, and is actively working to become a larger influence on search engine traffic.
I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
