Google now shows tweets in desktop search results 

A few months back Google started adding recent and relevant tweets to your searches on mobile. This time, Google's bringing that feature to desktop search results as well. If you type in a person and the word Twitter, you might see their recent tweets. But if you type in something more general like NASA Twitter, for example, you'll get both tweets from NASA's official Twitter account and tweets from other users talking about the space agency. This new feature should be rolling out to all users.

Microsoft gets contextual with new Bing update on Android

 

You’ve probably heard of Google’s Now on Tap contextual functionality coming out with Android Marshmallow? Well, Microsoft is preempting this new feature by releasing an update for its Bing Search app on Android that does something similar. Called Bing Snapshots, it has the capability to look at your screen and call up “snapshots” to provide you links you can act on. For example, you’re watching a trailer and want more information. You just need to hold the home button of your device and pull up a Bing Snapshot. This can show you reviews about the movie and links to Fandango to buy tickets.
