| Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of Search Engine Land, a Web site devoted to Internet search, agrees that Bing and Google are “pretty even” in the quality of their search results |

Um .. not from my desktop they aren't.
Still, this deal could make Bing.

Mine neither, the Google human raters are still cleaning up from the last set of changes where Bing has remained steady.
This is a complete redesign in approach, not just the addition of buttons. There is a social 'friends who might know' section and other new features that will make the bing home page more sticky.
Anything that can bring more market share to Bing and/or away from Google will create a more balanced search product which is good news for web publishers who've grown tired of the whims of any one engine.

I'am a bit biased - for all the keywords we attack we are on page one of bing. So if facebook has Bing is it all over for google ?

That Cnet link is HORRIFIC for me, if they roll that out I'll be gone from Bing.
Surely that link is incorrect?
Please tell me I'm wrong.

Agree with John and Sgt. This should have been done a long time ago.

Here's what Bing has to say about the new Bing.
Introducing the New Bing: Spend Less Time Searching, More Time Doing [bing.com] | The new Bing introduces a brand new information architecture with a three column design that focuses on bringing you information from the web to help you take action and interact with friends and experts without compromising the core search experience. |
|
| The bedrock of modern search remains core algorithmic relevance. With the latest updates, we are delivering the results you expect. Beautiful, relevant, results are the first thing you see. Instead of cluttering your results with social updates, we’re honoring the purity of the core web results making it easier to focus on the links you need to get things done. |
|
I've yet to test it properly, so i'll reserve comment until then.

A decision engine indeed. I like that Bing didn't try to create a new social network, instead they embraced the current people's top choice and improved their product.
I have no doubt that Google is thinking 'OMG, WHY DIDN'T WE DO THAT' right about now, as they try to topple Facebook with G+. Should we expect Google to change and offer G+ in the sidebar soon too? If so I'm liking Bing+Facebook over Google+G+.

I am cheering for any search engine to compete with Google. I have liked Bing for a while but I don't want to have to integrate social into my search. I just want decent results. So I do wish someone would just do pure search again. Have a clean page with one ad at the top and a few on the side. That would be perfect to me and maybe they could make a profit and not need obscene revenue to do a bunch of money losing crap.

Just what Google doesn't need. More litter.
