I think there's a lot of potential and merit to what they're trying to do,
but until they can figure out a way to implement it in a simple, elegant
way, I don't see this adding much value. The current implementation looks
sloppy and thrown together IMO. We'll see.

Yesterday, I came across a question on LinkedIn asking about the impact of this move. Tweets, as Peter points out, are disjointed and hard to follow. I'm not informed enough about search engine filtering mechanics, but outside the context of the specific conversation; however, as an end user, my initial reaction is that tweets on the SERPs will add more noise, and perhaps Bing will become another venue for black hat SEO practitioners to game the search engine system and add more spam to the twittersphere.<br><br>What do you guys think? @steffanantonas and @peterbelyea, the points you both made about the conversational dynamic are apropos of Bing adding tweets to their SERPs.

What do you guys think?

(Facebook does a much better job allowing the user to tailor what they see) Some of the new APIs are interesting but may not satisfy the community long term. I think the community is constantly in search of good information and crisp organization is key.

Will this be enough of a spark? We'll see. It's time for innovation.

It looks like their betting big on re-energizing the development community with the list API and the geo API. Will this be enough of a spark? We'll see.
