Bing Ties Directly Into Pinterest

Bing, the online search engine which is part of Microsoft, is continuing to tie into third party services, this time linking up with social media site Pinterest. Bing said today that it now lets users of Bing image search directly "Pin" photos to Pinterest, through a new "Pin to Pinterest" feature. The feature is the latest direct, third-party integration deal for Bing, which has been highly receptive to connecting its search features to third parties like Facebook, Pinterest, and others. Pinterest operates a social media sharing site which lets users "pin" their favorite photos to a visual board, and lets others favorite those photos and comment on the ones they like the most.
