Early this week the decision engine and the social networking powerhouse released the joint partnership in social search which involved trusted Facebook friends and family advices into Bing search results. While the power couple Bing and Facebook is still enjoying the release of their social search features, few days later Google announced that they are rolling out social search in 19 languages outside America. In the official blog post, Google wrote that social search will add more languages later.
In order to get social search results, both Bing and Google required users to login into their Live ID or Facebook account, and Google account.
Google made its social search feature available America in late March this year as the giant search engine company introduced “Plus One” (+1) which is very similar to Facebook's "Like" button. The +1 button is created to ask Google users to like or dislike search results and pay-per-click ads and share their advices with other Google users.
Unlike Bing’s social datasets which were pulled from Facebook’s 700 million users, Google’s social search data were compiled from Google’s own Blogger site, Twitter, Flickr, etc.
