Google just announces that they are set to integrate Facebook pages in their real-time search. Google tweets this announcement on Twitter. Google launched their real-time search in December.

Facebook has 400 million active users. So user’s privacy has been protected. But Facebook granting full access to user updates to Bing, though it’s not live yet. Bing will still only be getting status updates that are shared with “Everyone“, but with its recent privacy overhaul in December, Facebook ensured that it would have far more of those than it used to.
