Microsoft’s new search engine Bing is now indexing tweets from some popular Twitter accounts. If you search some of the more popular Twitter accounts on Bing it will return a couple recent tweets. For example if you search “Celebrity Gossip Twitter” on Bing it returns a couple of the latest tweets by @celebritygossip.

You also gets tweets back if you search Martha Stewart Twitter or Robert Scoble Twitter.



Bing says they picked a few thousand Twitter accounts to start with but could add more later.


We’re not indexing all of Twitter at this time…. just a small set of prominent and prolific Twitterers to
start. We picked a few thousand people to start, based primarily on their follower count and volume of tweets. We think this is an interesting first step toward using Twitter’s public API to surface Tweets in people search. We’d love to hear your feedback as we think thcoarse future possibilities in genuine time search.
