How Bing Will Rank Your Tweets

I blogged a few days ago about Microsoft Bing and Google’s announcement that they were both going to start incorporating our Tweets into their search results.  There has been a lot of speculation as to how these Tweets are gong to show up in their search results. I have been following all of this pretty closely as it is going to directly impact our industry. I blogged earlier today about how Google’s new Social Search is going to work but I think Bing might be a slightly different animal…

Apparently Bing is going to weigh tweets according to follower counts.  For instance, if you and I both tweet similar things, and I have 1000+ followers and you have 300 followers, my tweet is going to have a higher ranking.  Granted, this is not the best method imaginable, but for the time being I think that is how it’s going to be.  Of course, these search algorithm’s get tweaked a lot and all of this is subject to change before you even realize it, but that’s the word that I am getting right now.

I think that all of us are anxious to see how Bing and Google both are able to weigh what’s good content versus what’s bad content using only 140 characters…
