Last week we had you tune in to Jason Calacanis' web show TWIST to watch Stefan announce the Free T-shirt Friday theme. I was worried no one would catch his #FTF plug to win a free t-shirt or the copy of Brian Solis’s book “Putting the Public Back into Public Relations” but alas, there were a few of you loyal #FTF players that came through.

The winners for last week were @brmore and @jrameau. Please make sure you DM us @bing with your shirts size and mailing address.

• @brmore: @bing The best and worst airport food http://bit.ly/bYQ5qF (expand) #FTF (WINNER OF THE BOOK!)
• @jrameau: @bing The Terminal Tom Hanks http://bit.ly/bOMJ8U (expand) #FTF

This week we sit down with Stefan (finally sans apron) to discuss some of your questions from the forums and to share this week’s Free T-shirt Friday theme which may have something to do with a small sports event this weekend.

Facebook has been a close and valued partner of Microsoft for a number of years. We have worked together on several fronts all designed to create great experiences and services for our users. As we begin 2010, we are stepping up that collaboration yet again.

Here is a sense for what we are up to:

First, we have deepened our joint work together on web search to provide even more compelling experiences to Facebook users with Bing. As part of this expanded cooperation in search, our two companies will soon provide Facebook users with a more complete search experience by providing full access to great Bing features beyond a set of links, including richer answers combined with tools that help customers make faster, smarter decisions.

Second, we are extending our cooperation outside the US, bringing the Bing-Facebook search integration to the more than 400 million people using Facebook around the world.

Lastly, we made the mutual decision that Facebook would take over responsibility for selling display advertisements on its own site. We have been working together on advertising for a long time, creating the best experience for Facebook users and advertisers. Given the kinds of advertisements that make sense within a product as unique as Facebook, it just made more sense for them to take the lead on this part of their advertising strategy. MS will continue to provide search advertisements to Facebook.

Bing will continue to exclusively power the web search results on Facebook. This change will also enable Microsoft to continue its focus on driving strong performing campaigns across our own social media and communications tools, including Windows Live Messenger and Hotmail, and via rich content environments across MSN and Xbox Live.

This is an exciting time for us as we continue to work with Facebook on great new experiences for customers.  As you know, Bing has been very focused on helping customers make important decisions. We believe that counsel from family and friends can be a big part of that process. Going deeper in web search experiences with Facebook, in addition to the collaboration we announced last October about bringing public data from Facebook’s API into the search experience, will enable us to do great things together for our customers.

You will start to see the fruits of our expanded relationship show up in the Facebook experience over the weeks and months ahead. We are very excited about the work we have done with Facebook, and are really looking forward to the amazing things we can together do for our mutual customers in the months and years ahead.

The office pool, big screen TV’s, great commercials, the half time show, friends and family.  These are all things that remind me of super bowl Sunday. However no game day is ever complete without a monumental spread of food. Now that we’ve shared some tips and trick to help prepare for the big game, time for the menu. I know in my house Nachos and Buffalo wings are a must to kick off the game and by the half time show we have the Hot Dogs and Burgers on the barbeque . If you are not a hot dog and hamburger kind of crowd then you might want to try out a new recipe for Pizza or Chili. I know that this year I am going to spice things up with our new recipe feature and get creative with Beer. Beer'Garitas anyone?

Whether or not you are a Colts or Saints fan we know that for some of you this Sunday will be filled with some great football to watch, some pretty entertaining commercials, and if nothing else some wonderful food that you hopefully were inspired to make from searching on Bing.

So have fun eating your way through the Super “Bowl”.

I have a confession to make: I’m a Valentine’s Day scrooge. Despite that, Valentine’s Day still sneaks up on me every year and while I might consider saying “Bah humbug” to Cupid, I just can’t. Duty calls, and because I have some very special family and friends in my life, I feel obligated to do a bit more than a drugstore greeting card and a box of stale heart candies.

Whether you’re a scrooge like me or you’re the romantic type, Valentine’s Day can require lots of preparation. Lucky for you, Bing is here to help you put together a romantic evening your valentine won't soon forget. But just because your sweetie pie makes you feel like a million bucks doesn't mean you have to spend every last penny proving it. With cashback you can shop for your valentine and get cash back for yourself. That definitely appeals to my scrooginess – give more to them and get more for me! Shop our Valentine's Day gift guides and find exactly what you're looking. Plus between February 3-10^th, you can get even more cashback savings, up to 30%.

So in the words of my favorite grade school Valentine’s card: Won’t you “bee” mine?

The Saints and the Colts may be our super star teams this year, but neither team takes home the title of most searched for on Bing. In fact, the most popular team on Bing didn’t even make it to the Conference Championship game this year. But their hunky quarterback drew enough attention for his actions off the field to make this team super popular on Bing. Oh and they also cut the ribbon on the biggest stadium known to man. If you haven’t guessed already, the Dallas Cowboys racked up the most searches on Bing among NFL teams for the 2009-2010 season. But back to our super star teams.

Despite their 14-2 record and devout fans, the Colts ranked 15^th among most searched NFL teams while New Orleans came in 5^th  with Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and coach Sean Payton all garnering more searches than Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai and coach Jim Caldwell, respectively. Although not the most searched throughout the year, after the Indianapolis win against the Jets, all eyes were on Peyton and his team with searches for the Colts increasing by more than 350 percent whereas searches for the New Orleans Saints increased by slightly less at 257 percent. So who’s going to be most popular come game day? Let us know what you think.

You only have a few days to decide whether you lean toward New Orleans or Indianapolis, so spend some time on Bing and get to know the team with our player instant answers (try Peyton Manning or Drew Brees) and compare the teams with our head-to-head comparison courtesy of MSN and Fox Sports. Just search for ‘Super Bowl XLIV’ or ‘Super Bowl 2010’ for a quick look at everything you want to know about the big game including game time, and stats on the Saints and Colts so you’re well versed come game day.

We’ll be updating our Super Bowl answer to reflect quarterly updates and game status  – see the example below - so be sure to check back regularly. And for real-time commentary from Super Bowl watchers on Twitter, be sure to visit and follow the Super Bowl on Bing/Twitter.

We’re looking forward to kick off!
