Bing is extended shorten URLs (for example, bit.ly) so that search engines know exactly what they are seeing. Why is Bing doing this? Well, it's his way of providing "real-time information.
The question is, Twitter API can handle this from a scale point of view? Twitter is always getting beaten offline by being "more able" can handle the extra load on their servers that will undoubtedly imposes Bing?
I'm curious to see how he presents Bing tweets into your search engine. We'll have to wait and see. One thing is clear, Bing finally has stolen a march on Google. MICROSOFT is to innovating, once here and that's a welcome change in the world of SEO.
Speaking of this agreement from the technical point of view, in recent Twitter posts had no follow tags that do not allow search engines to index the posts. Obviously Bing allowed to work on this … we do not know the details. Moreover, This agreement is not exclusive to Bing, I wonder how long will it take before jumping on Google with an agreement of their own.
Moreover, Bing announced an agreement that allows them to index public status updates from Facebook. This is not as important from the Bing owns a portion of Facebook (a share of 1.6% they paid around 240 million euros to return in 2007). I really do not get much information about this agreement.

I'm sure it will start to see theories on how to improve the ranking of its search engine to push out or something tweets thus. I suggest you make any major changes right now, but still using Twitter to keep in daily contact with its customers, visitors, subscribers, etc as I hope they always do.
