Microsoft Opens Up Its Social Search Site 'So.cl'

[Brink]

Microsoft has pulled his hybrid social network, Pinterest board, and search engine out of beta. This hasn't made the service any less confusing but, don't worry, it's not as if Microsoft has grand aims to pull you out of the social services you're already hooked into – So.cl, or "social," is designed to explore "the possibilities of social search for the purposes of learning."

"We expect students to continue using products such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other existing social networks, as well as Bing, Google and other search tools. We hope to encourage students to reimagine how our everyday communication and learning tools can be improved, by researching, learning and sharing in their everyday lives," reads a FAQ on Microsoft's So.cl page.
