Ranking is affected by Social Media mentions and sentiment

Bing: “We do look at the social authority of a user”.
Google: “Yes we do compute and use author quality as a signal.”From Danny Sullivan’s Dec 2010 Q & A with Google & Bing
Happy
Ranking is affected by Social Media mentions and sentiment
Just as Google’s Pagerank measures how authoritative a web page is deemed to be,Search Engines also calculate the social authority of people, and give more or less value to social media mentions.
We believe that social signals will increasingly influence organic search results, as Google & Bing increasingly seek to deliver fresh or recent results.
