Bing gives its social sidebar a makeover, makes it easier to find what you're looking for

Even though it was only yesterday that Bing announced it was making some changes to the site's snapshot pane, today Redmond's search engine is coming back with a few additional tweaks. The most noticeable change is the redesigned social sidebar, which maintains its original purpose but trims a lot of the UI's unnecessary fat -- better yet, however, Bing says it'll make it much easier to find folks who are specifically relevant to you, as the improved sidebar bases search results on what friends (and other people) have posted on social networks like Twitter, Facebook and even Foursquare. There's a small chance you won't be able to spot the new social sidebar just yet, but Bing says it should begin showing up "over the next few days."
