Bing Adds Selected Twitter Results; Google Book Search Adds Tag Clouds
Two items from two of the major search players.
First, Bing is now including Twitter results from "more prominent and prolific Twitterers from a variety of spheres" for certain types of searches. Learn more via the Bing blog and Search Engine Land.
Second, word from Google Book Search that they've added tag clouds for some titles in their database.
Starting today, you'll find a cloud of "Common Terms and Phrases" on the Book Overview page for some of our books. This cloud represents the distribution of words in a book: big terms are more common in the book, while small terms are rarer.
See Also: Amazon's "Look Inside the Book" program continues to provide a concordance/tag clouds for some titles. They're found under the heading "concordance" on a book overview page. Here's an example.
See Also: On a related note, if you're a Firefox user you can now create tag clouds from Twitter, Google, and Yahoo results via a tool named Search Cloudlet.
