San Jose, CA
February 28 – March 1
Bing Booth: #406
We’re excited to announce our participation in two sessions:
Getting Personal, Part 1: How Google and Bing Personalize With Social Connections By default, both Google and Bing tailor results based on things they know about searchers. This session looks at how Google taps into Google+ for its new “Search Plus Your World” service and how Bing uses Facebook to create “Liked Results” and in other ways. The session will also explore how other social signals may be used, including the importance of social authority.
Getting Personal, Part 2: How Google & Bing Personalize With Search History & Geography Our look at the "new normal" of search personalization continues, examining how both Google and Bing use search history and geographical location as a way to customize the results that searchers see. Learn how making a good impression may help make a lasting impression in both search engines.
Please make sure to stop by booth #406 and the above sessions – we hope to see you all there!
