Original Bing-Twitter Indexing
This is what Twitter tweets looked like on Bing the last few months.
Here Is What Tweets Look Like Now
The search engine looks at the quality of the results and assigns a social relevance score based on the number of followers a Twitter user has. Bing may also assign greater importance to higher-quality tweets, or those that have links to news stories. Finally, tweets that have been retweeted multiple times will receive more weight.
Hot Topic Tweet Tag Cloud
Say that five times fast. The cloud groups hot Twitter topics.
Drilling Down into Tweets
Notice the links to Bit.ly, taking users to the original news source pages.
Yankee Group Tweets
