Bing Getting Realtime With Twitter

Nice move by the Bing team – they’ve started to index Twitter, albeit a small corner of the chattersphere by indexing some prominent folks like Danny Sullivan and Kara Swisher. I can see the fallout now – Jason Calacanis will be offering up cold hard $$ to get on the index list :) Speaking of which, I assume I’m on the watch list…..errr, nope ;)

Regardless, it’s great to see the speed of innovation from Bing and finally we get the jump on Google (and Yahoo). John Battelle, Scoble, Techcrunch and others seemed pretty impressed.

In related news, it seems @microsoft has kicked in to life on Twitter with 4 folks from our corporate communications team at the helm. I’ll be watching closely to see how it develops.
