Facebook to power its search box with Bing

Goodbye to the dysfunctional FB search box. I don’t think maybe people will miss it. I think this can only be a good thing for both Facebook, and Microsoft. In exchange, Facebook is dropping Microsoft ads, and will move to do it’s own ad serving.

Lesson to take from this: Microsoft doesn’t need to make money from the FB ads… its main concern at the moment is strategically attacking Google’s #1 position as search provider. And it really seems to be getting traction and making inroads. I am certain the Google team is sweating bullets about these guys.
