1) non-exclusive or not.. still a big win and opportunity for Bing/MS. I think its more the point that Google (or whoever) has not signed anything.

Yay, Microsoft called dibs on a bunch of useless status updates!

2) You can bet SERPs will continue to move towards to combined/universal search categorized areas like we see in Korea already (at least get their own tabs in the meantime?). Adding feeds from twitter and facebook will probably serve as a catalyst to that end...cause as people have commented, feeds just mixed in with "regular" web results will end up looking like a potluck stew--not in the good way.

At least you realize that Facebook/Twitter comments should not be mixed with useful results.
