One of the popular tech watcher and blogger, Inside Facebook, reported over the past weekend before the Labor Day holiday that Bing app for social networking has been holding a top ten spot on the Facebook platform in terms of monthly active users (MAU).
While Facebook gamers and fans continue to keep several games (incl. CityVille, FarmVille, etc.) at the top ten largest app on the Facebook platform, the world’s largest social networking site also integrates with other technology companies such as Microsoft. The giant software company’s involvement was due to business deals and capital investment. Those deals have made Bing as a very close friend of Facebook. The current integration between Bing and Facebook also allows the decision engine users to sign in via Facebook, or vis-versa. Later after login, Bing users can click on “Like” button on search results and creating social signals.
The Bing decision engine app has been moving up-and-down on the top ten largest app. According to appdata.com metric, as we published this blog on Monday (Sept 5) afternoon, Bing is now at number nine with about 28.7 million on September 5, 2011.
Other Bing’s family on the top ten largest app on the Facebook platform also includes Windows Live Messenger. Windows Live Messenger app for Facebook is in tenth place at 21.6 million on September 5, 2011.
