Written by Alan Wednesday, 22 February 2012 02:01
Bing, Microsoft’s search answer to Google, announced today that they are adding Linked Pages to let the user control what information is linked to them. That means when someone searches for you, you can control exactly what information they find, such as your Twitter feed, Facebook page, and personal blog. You only have to add what you want known to your personal Linked Page.
“Beginning today, with Linked Pages, we’re letting you link websites related to you in search results. Now your friends looking for you online can find what you want them to find. You can also link pages to your friends to help them shine on Bing as well.”
When you visit Bing.com/linkedpages you will be able to log in with your Facebook ID and then begin adding your information. It doesn’t just have to be pages of your own either, you can also add sites that you like, or that have to do with your hobbies. If you decide you don’t want something associated with yourself then you can remove it later.
The new Bing Linked Pages are available now. You can read the full announcement and get more detailed information over at the Bing Blog. You can also check out the Microsoft video below to learn more.
