Microsoft Bing recently announced a huge overhaul to its user interface, which will see social media feeds from sites like Facebook and Twitter incorporated into a new social side bar on search results pages.

I've been listening to Charles Arthur every Tuesday on the Guardian pod-cast, Tech weekly, for the past year.
