The big news with v2.0.5 is integration with Microsoft’s shiny new search engine, Bing! Only launched on Monday of this week, Bing is very impressive and has been receiving wonderful reviews. Now, only a few days later, thanks to the latest version of Surf Canyon’s glowingly-reviewed, award-winning application, it’s even better:

• Real-time personalization – Easily find relevant information buried in Bing’s results with real-time re-ranking.
• Real-time results – Insert relevant real-time results from OneRiot and Twitter.
• Query refinements – Search reformulations are suggested based on your “at the moment” information need.
• Customize content – Use my.SurfCanyon.com to indicate the sources of information you prefer, as well as those you’d like to avoid.

Don Dodge, Director of Business Development for Microsoft’s Emerging Business Team and author of The Next Big Thing, wrote about Surf Canyon’s integration with Bing:

Two… innovative startups, WebMynd and Surf Canyon, worked quickly to customize Bing with real-time search results powered by OneRiot. Surf Canyon CEO, Mark Cramer, said that they are excited about this integration because “Bing users can now re-rank search results ‘on the fly’ plus get OneRiot’s real-time web results to further transform Bing search results into dynamic portals of information.”

Additionally, the new version contains additional compatibility with Google’s search pages.
