First time I've saw this, and only after signing out.

I've noticed Bing Translation links on non-English posts for quite a while, which helps with understanding the Vikings. ;-)

Apparently it's a new "ad slot" for FB and Bing were one of the first to take advantage of it. I see people asking "who actually signs out of Facebook" but the numbers are quite large, apparently ~40 million Americans a week are doing it. My first major impression is that it could boost market share for Bing.

>understanding the Vikings

Ha! Pillage and plunder - what more do you need to know? :)

>that it could boost market share for Bing

now THAT would be great. Bing market share is close to zero here, but we rank on everything, so getting more searchers that way is more than welcome.
