It’s just over a month since Bing came into existance and the early signs are really positive. I have to admit that Bing doesn’t really smell like a typical Microsoft product…To me, it seems like a refreshing change after sticking with Google for years.

And it seems that Bing doesn’t like staying out of  buzz. It has probably been the most abuzzed topic last month, both in Blogosphere  and Twitterverse. Be it leapfrogging Yahoo! or integrating Bing within Hotmail or loads of other news and updates about Bing, Bing seems unignorable to the world of Internet at the moment.

Yesterday, Bing announced another important move to make it more useful for the people(or may be tweeple). It announced the launch of a new service called BingTweets.com, a service that Bing launched in partnership with Federated Media and Twitter.

Long story short, Bingtweets brings live Twitter feed and Bing search results on a single webpage. On the left side, you will see cluster of popular trending topics on Twitter and you can also see popular people, places and products on twitter as well. The moment you click on any of those popular topics or search any keyword within the Search box, you will see the live twitter feed on the left side and Bing search results on the right side, on the topic/keyword you clicked/searched for.

This service can save you time, especially when you want to see what’s logically relevant (bing search results) and what people are saying right now(Twitter feed) about the stuff you want to query about.

But there are many issues getting raised by bing skeptics, about the search habits and probability of users actually making a switch to Bing, even if it seems a better performer than Google.

To a larger extent, it’s a hard truth. No matter, how much money is spent by Microsoft in spreading the word about Bing and how good the search engine is, a habit(either good or bad) is tough to change. And as Google has been the default search engine for hundreds of millions of users so far, the task for Bing is really, really tough.

So, the million dollar question is... Can Bingtweets make Tweeple drift from Google to Bing ?

May be. But that is for sure that Bingtweets will help keeping tweeples engaged with Bing, no matter if those tweeple make an actual drift(changing their default search engine) to Bing or not.

I would love to see a Bingtweets Firefox add-on for searching from my browser itself.
