Bing have announced that they’re working with Facebook to integrate social networking into their search algorithm.

Facebook brings a wealth of social link graphs to the search algorithm, using ratings from your social network to enhance Bing’s results.

It’ll be interesting to see how Google reacts to this – maybe by bringing their rumoured Google Me social network forward

 

Here are a couple of blog posts from Bing explaining the new changes:
