You have to actually add "twitter" to the search to get tweets? That's horrible, I want any search that I put into Bing to immediately pop up with thousands of asinine tweets having very little to do with my actual search -- in other words causing the very search overload they claim to stay away from.
Granted if they're going to do a twitter search, they need to have a separate category -- like they do with shopping and images.
Is it just me or does anybody else hope this whole twitter fad blows over faster than Boy Bands?

lutra, you read my mind.

David, this reminds me of all the people 10 years ago who said "I already have a laptop, a camera, an mp3 player and a gps. I don't want all that crap on my phone, I just want it to be a phone."

Get used to it, whether you like it or not, people are going to try to put everything in one place.

Can we just quarantine the self important 'microblog' movement to it's own separate internet?

"Twitter posts--on Bing is pretty lame. I just hope it stays that way."
You have to wonder about this type of thinking..."I hope it stays this way". The MS haters are as crazed a the Bush-bashers. I just Google, I use Bing, I use whatever I choose whenever I like. Choice is good...its very good. Its not a life support necessity for there to be only one source for search results.....and thank you Bing for placing a keyword gate on tweeter "crap" posts in the search engine results. Good grief!

It took you an hour to figure out how to type "twitter" into a search engine and we're supposed to take your review as a credible commentary?
Sorry -- propaganda is still propaganda. Learn to use a search engine before you criticize any of them and we'll take you more seriously.
