Seem so.cl, Microsoft's new Social Network?

[JackClarke]

Hey,

 

Has anyone comes across so.cl yet? It's Microsoft's new social network that they released this weekend on the quiet. The idea behind it seems to be a little different - instead of creating yet another Social Network users login with Windows Live or Facebook and then they can choose what to search for and it's some kind of social search tool.

 

What does anyone think of it that's seen it? Personally, I'm not really sure I have much use for it. Just seems like another site I've registered too that I probably won't go back to. Although an article I read somewhere suggested it was for students to share projects and nobody I know is using it so I guess that makes it redundant?

 

If you haven't seen it here's there link: http://www.so.cl/

I really don't see the point in it. A whole website for sharing searches? There are already too many social networking sites, I don't think we need to throw another useless one on the pile.

I have never heard of it and I highly doubt it is going to be successful. Social networking area is getting saturated now that we have Facebook and Google+ snapping majority of the web users. Still it's a pretty interesting concept and I hope it gives some competition to Facebook and Google.

There are lots of products out there run by Live and Microsoft and this is just another one to add to the heap.

Just had a quick look at it. It's so sloooow. If Microsoft doesn't do something about the page load speed, it's going to be a still-born idea. Anything that takes longer than two seconds to load is not going to take off any time soon.

Hmmm I don't think that this concept is really new to us. The site looks good and simple but it loads so slow to me even if I have a decent internet speed. share your searches and join a video party. This seems cool to me but I don't think that man people will be a part of this. I can;t even get to my twitter and facebook account regularly because of school and business and now here is another social networking site? I will pass on this one.

Looks dumb. Why would I want to sign into a social network with another social network account?

I don't think it will take off. Microsoft will pour a lot of resources into it, and it'll come of nothing.
