JackClarke Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 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/ Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobIV Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce12 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 There are lots of products out there run by Live and Microsoft and this is just another one to add to the heap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Leigh Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 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.

tosaytheleast Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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.

Microsuck Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looks dumb. Why would I want to sign into a social network with another social network account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHiLL Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I don't think it will take off. Microsoft will pour a lot of resources into it, and it'll come of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
