+ Note the tag-cloud and the list of "hot topics" on the home page. Clink an item and you'll see:
++ Most Recent Tweets about X
++Top Links Shared in Posts about X
+ Search results automatically refresh unless you hit the pause button (note other services do the same type of thing)
+ Clicking the RT button will take you to your Twitter page ready (with the info already in the box) to retweet. If you don't have an account it will take you to a page to register (if you want to).
+ Some searches will trigger other results from the Bing engine. For example, note this result for #Chicago and how it shows links to other Bing content on the right side of the page.
+ When you see a shortened url from bit.ly for example, look to the right shortened and in parenthesis, you'll see the domain of the url that's being shortened. (Thanks Danny!)
UPDATE 2) In addition to the Search Engine Land post below, Danny Sullivan, will be updating with new data as it becomes available here.
It's loaded with information and screenshots.
+ Bing is using "Best Match" technology to dedupe results and then focus in on those results
+ Spam filtering is being used
+ What else effects Twitter results at Bing?
+
Quality – look at who’s tweeting and assign soicla relevance score popularity – look at the caption – length of comment, links, etc., affect quality and relevance usefulness – number of retweets affects results.
As noted above and elsewhere you might not see every "tweet" when using Bing.

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
