Microsoft updated its new Facebook-powered Bing tools on Tuesday, and über-Googler Matt Cutts promptly splattered this Bingbook setup with another large handful of virtual mud.

small difference

If I Google for something it won't serve private content of others, only what's out there in public... The stuff people keep on facebook goes (IMHO) much further than what Google can get its hands on.

Err

I'd take Bing/MS services over Google any day of the week, but am I reading this right?

'You will show up in profile searches in Bing, even if you have selected not to have profile information show up in public search engines'

It's ambiguous, I know - but can anyone actually tell me (I'm not overreacting, just wanting information) whether 'friends of friends' can actually search and find me when I specifically set all of my privacy options to stop them from seeing me at all?

If Bing, or any other public search engine, bypasses privacy controls surely that'd be grounds for an investigation? Still, I'll wait until I have the answers before screaming :)
