Microsoft Social Network SOCLFew months back we saw that Microsoft accidentally published its own version of Social Networking site Socl.com. They took down the site in few days but it seems they are back with their project renamed from Tulalip to socl (pronounced as social).

Socl is in fact not a new social networking site that wants to compete with Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus. Instead it is more like Pinterest where users can collect interesting stuffs from web at one place and share it with their friends.

Socl is mainly focused on students which define the social media usage. In Microsoft’s words:

So.cl combines social networking and search, to help people find and share interesting web pages in the way students do when they work together.

Here is the official video which gives a better understanding of what actually Socl is all about:

Sounds interesting Eh? If yes, then go here and click on the Facebook log in option to get the beta invite.

Do let us know what you think about the prospect of Socl.
