Bing is runned by Microsoft Corp. and they are starting to incorporate what your friends do on Facebook right into its Bing search engine. You will be able to use Bing to search for a topic in the news, articles that friends have shared on Facebook might appear, along with their names and Facebook profile photos. Because Facebook is so popular and globally used many companies are looking to feed off them. The only problem with Bing is that privacy becomes an issue and there is a lack of it with Bing and Facebook.
Facebook is huge and growing. Therefore it is vital that businesses take advantage of it. Bing is taking big step incorporating facebook into their search engines but they could prove to start a trend. Being the first to do this could lead to many followers. Bing could have started a trend but we will only be able to determine its success if others follow.
