Bing beats Google in partnership with Facebook's Graph Search

Earlier today, Facebook appear a new avant-garde search engine for users chosen Graph Search. The engine allows users to search content friends and others accept shared in rather interesting means.

For case, a phrase similar "Friends who live in Los Angeles under 30" would produce a list of all your friends who currently live in Los Angeles and are under xxx years old. While Graph Search was built past Facebook, sometimes results from the web need to be pulled in to help add context to results. Facebook was planning on working with Google, but that plan cruel apart over privacy concerns.

When using Graph Search, you might desire external information (similar weather condition, ticket prices, etc) pulled into the results. That data will be supplied from Bing because Google wasn't willing to work with Facebook on their privacy needs. When a Facebook user changes their privacy setting on something like a photo, Google was unwilling to remove it from their search index. Facebook hasn't always had the best opinion on privacy, but the company has been making recent efforts to simplify the overall privacy experience. It's really interesting that Google didn't want to work with Facebook and instead chose to identify the importance of their search results over privacy concerns from users.

Tweet of the day comes from Ed Bott, talking about the whole breakdown between Facebook and Google he said:

"I hateful, when Facebook says your privacy policies are troublesome, you know you've crossed a line"

Facebook's Graph Search has a lot of promise to exist a useful tool, by and large because of the amount of data that users take made Facebook privy too. This partnership with Bing should help heave their overall standing in the search engine wars.

A win for Bing and a loss for Google. Now whether or non you decided to utilise Facebook is entirely up to you. It's just worth highlighting when an crawly deal like this comes upward. No word yet when we can expect this in the Windows Phone Facebook app. Nosotros'll let you know when information technology does come up.
