Microsoft revealed that it is developing on a new search sharing service called Bing & Ping, which will allow the Internet user to share specific search results (Bing’s Instant Answers), over Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail. There’s also a “copy” link option so that it will be possible to anyone share the search results trough more services.

Instant Answers will allow you to obtain quick information on search results related to several subjects, such as sports results, a definition, a simple calculation, a conversion, the upcoming weather conditions, movie show times, a flight status, a company’s financial information, a translation, and so on.

Anyone wanting to play with Bing & Ping needs to be signed up to Facebook first, as you’ll need to become a fan of the new feature. However, surprisingly, that new service won’t be part of Windows Live.

Microsoft is enlarging its participation more and more in the market since it threw Bing.

That is stimulating the company to develop new services related to Bing, like a SDK so that applications developers for the iPhone incorporate the system of searches Bing to their applications. This SDK wants to facilitate the use of Bing to do searches of images, videos, news and calendar contacts for the Apple smartphone.

In the month of July, it was registered a number of 113 thousand million of online researches, value that shows a rise of 41 percent face to equal period of 2008.

The data were presented by the comScore and they indicate that Europe was the area responsible for the volume increase of searches. In relation to the same month of last year, the total of researches done through the search engines grew about 58 percent.

According to the comScore, the new motor of search of Microsoft, BING, is in fourth position in the search motors with 3,3 thousand million of researches online and it already begins to threaten Google and Yahoo!.
