SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp has sealed agreements to access real-time content on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, a boost for its fledgling Bing search engine.
Bing, which hopes to take on current dominant search leader Google Inc, will have access to Twitter's entire store of public data in real time, Microsoft executives said on Wednesday.
It was unclear if Google -- which commands about 65 percent of the search market -- is seeking similar tie-ups, as tech blogs have reported.
