Your internet exposure is about to become even more exposed, with Facebook announcing plans to integrate its public status updates with Microsoft’s Bing search engine. Emma Barnett, the Technology and Digital Media Correspondent of the Telegraph is reporting that deal is done and integration should be complete within a couple of months.
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, was quick to offer some assurances about what would, and what would not become public. According to Ms. Sandberg “only people who have agreed to share their updates with everyone on the web will have their updates streamed to Bing.”
Facebook, which tallies over 45 million status updates per day from 30 million unique visitors, is following a path forged by Twitter, which earlier announced a deal with Microsoft and Google to make tweets searchable. Unlike the Twitter deal, however, Facebook says no money will be changing hands between it and Microsoft.
