Microsoft is to include updates from Twitter in its new Bing search engine.
Bing will initially display Twitter feed entries, or Tweets, from prominent users of the social networking site, Microsoft said in a blog posting.
Users who search for names like Al Gore along with the word Twitter will get the former vice president’s latest Tweets and a link to see more.
Microsoft released Bing last month in a bid to improve on its third-place ranking in the US Internet search market.
The new feature is part of an effort to get more “real-time data” into search results, the company said.
Tweets from a few thousand people will be included at first, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said.
They were chosen based on the number of their followers and the volume of messages.
