New Social Functions on Bing

What search engine do you usually use when searching the web? I know that most of you are using either Google or Yahoo when doing a research and probably don't use Bing. Me too is not using Bing, but I recently tried this search engine in one of my projects and I notice something new and pretty darn cool feature that I've never seen since my last visit with their search engine.

I know Bing is not the most popular search engine in the World might be placed behind Google and Yahoo, but what they are doing here with Facebook is pretty amazing and I will point this out if you haven't see it before. If you go to Bing and for example search for "Real Estate" it will not only provides with normal results. What you will find in each result is if you have friends that like the website's page on Facebook it appear next to the hyperlink or the URL and what's interesting about that is of course if you are running a search result thing and you see that two or more of your friends that you trust like that particular website you gonna be active visiting that site too. So I think that's the interesting thing about Bing that a little different than what Google is doing because it relies on its Google plus network that doesn't have the same penetration as with Facebook.
