Both Bing and Google have made deals with Twitter to start integrating search with Twitter tweets. Although both search engines have a different approach as to how Twitter is integrated, each is attempting to change how we search on the Internet.
Bing's approach is to provide a way to search through the tweets for a given search phrase. Bing displays the Hottest Topics related to your search based upon the amount of people on Twitter linking to it. Bing also provides a real time tweetstream based upon your search.
Google takes a slightly different approach through their Google Social Search. Google takes your search and then searches your social circle for relevant information. If you are searching for local entertainment, it can search what your circle has tweeted about.
Bing's purpose it to provide real-time search information while Google's purpose is to try to provide more relevant search results to the user based upon their social circle. Both provide solutions to very different needs based upon the same technology provided by Twitter.

Interesting, but stimulating to know that there really is no "limits" what and where the "internet" and "social media" is goona go. "Anything is definitely possible."
