In all of the craziness that was the Facebook IPO, Microsoft quietly launched their own social networking site called so.cl and no that is not a typo. It is pronounced social however. This site is not suppose to be a direct competitor some have speculated. This network is a combo of social and searching. This has been called more of a social experiment and when a person logs in they are given a bunch of news topics and suggestions. One of the big features is bookmarklet let which gives you the ability to share things with others just like in Facebook where you like something or pinterest where you pin something to your wall. Probably the most interesting feature is the video share which looks a lot like Google + party though you can share videos you found with people. This sounds like it is a nice little mix of things taken from other social networks but don’t you think social networking is getting a bit to crowded?
