Microsoft's Bing Search Engine Cutting Status Update Data Deal with Facebook

It’s not clear how many Facebook users make their status updates publicly available, but for those who do, Microsoft has struck a data partnership to presumably index them in its Bing search engine more efficiently. So if you’re a Facebook user who has chosen the “everyone” option for your updates from within the site’s privacy settings page, you’re about to get some more exposure.

Bing will also include Twitter updates, AllThingsD reports, and both deals will be announced at the Web 2.0
