Online marketing mavens, take note, the word is out that Bing and Facebook are negotiating a major game change. If all goes according to plan, Facebook will grant Bing access to their coveted “Like” data, allowing the search engine to incorporate said info on results pages.
It’s unclear as of yet whether Google might also be privy to such an arrangement. Right now, both Bing and Google have access to Facebook public status updates, but the latter might be moving in a different direction.
Google’s been keeping busy with in-the-works project Google Me, intended to socialize the engine’s preexisting features. This probably won’t involve any new services (like a Facebook competitor, as has been rumored) but rather feature targeted integration the likes of Google Buzz.
Only time will tell how this news will affect the business of business marketing. But hey, at least it’s interesting.
PS: How cool is this Facebook stamp?
