Social Networking in Search!

What next in Search? Social Networking. Can I get you better results by looking at your social network and giving better context to your search queries? Amazing thought... and that's what Bing is trying to do by looking at using your Facebook network to return you hopefully more relevant results! For example, you are searching for a restaurant in your city, and maybe one of your friends "like" it... lo and behold, Bing will notify you of it along with your search result.

Another interesting aspect here - Facebook is huge, and this partnership will definitely give Bing an edge over Google in winning over some fans.
