What happens when two biggies in the market decide to merge their flagship services and offer it as one? Apart from a lot of work for the Merger and Acquisition organizations, it gives the users with a new and eclectic service that comes with all the pros of its ingredient services. The cons get compensated owing to the combination of the two services and the result is a success.

The same is expected Microsoft Corp.’s latest roll out which goes by the name “BingTweet”. It brings together Bing search and Twitter and industry experts expect it to be a big hit among the masses. The portal BingTweet combines classic web search facility, as provided by the original Bing search engine, along with the real time search elements from Twitter. When compared with Microsoft, which has been in the market for a very long time, Twitter is an entity that has been gaining wide acceptance among users, with its innovative approach to messaging and search service.

The concept was worked upon and built by the combined effort of Microsoft, Twitter and Federated Media. The inclusion of Twitter into the search experience is said to make search engines more user friendly and relevant and all Twitter is doing here is providing Microsoft and Federated Media access to their public API. Search engines, as we all know, is all about relevancy and speed. A search engine is supposed to come up with fast and relevant searches as soon as the users keys in his query. The more relevant the results are, the more popular the search engines becomes.

Twitter adds a whole new aspect to the aboriginal search engines experience wherein results would not vary once we placed a request. With BingTweet the results change every 30 to 60 minutes, meaning that the search will be more dynamic. If you find a search result relevant to your query you can back it and the result with the most number of votes is posted as the most relevant.

Microsoft has high hopes from BingTweet and if the service proves to be a success it might well be incorporated into their Bing experience.
