A few months ago, FM, Twitter and Microsoft announced a groundbreaking partnership in the form of ExecTweets. See here for Twitter’s blog post announcement. This has proven to be an enormously successful site that offers a curated Twitter stream from leading business executives – all in one easy to find (and follow) format.

BingTweets combines Twitter trends with Bing search results, enabling users to see deeper, real-time information about the hottest topics on Twitter. Search for anything in the BingTweets search box (at the top right of every page) and see Bing search results alongside the most recent related tweets.
Check it out and enjoy!!!
