Microsoft’s major Bing update went live on Friday. The Facebook-amplified version of Bing is its first major overhaul since its inception three years ago. Bing has incorporated a social component to its search this time around, and is pulling data from social sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Watch out for the television and Web campaign Microsoft is launching to promote the search engine. Bing is also  joining forces with DoSomething.org to launch the Bing Summer of Doing promotion.
