Bing Status Search

This new feature of real-time status updates on the Bing search engine is a bit much. People already have to be cautious about what they put out on social networking site today pertaining to current or potential employers and this is just another reason to delete your profile. Not to mention most statuses are random and not really worth putting them on a search engine. Then some people may get the wrong impression from a status (you can't hear voice or tone in text).

If you take a look at status updates our your friends on these sites do you think these people would want this information tagged to them for the whole world to see? These websites such as Twitter and Facebook are supposed to be a way to communicate, have fun and act silly with your friends. Now that employers, colleges and other notable institutions do "background checks" on these sites it really makes you question who is watching you.
