We haven't talked about So.cl, but Microsoft’s social project has officially opened to all users this past week. So.cl (pronounced “social”) shouldn’t be considered a social network; in fact, the website’s FAQ page identifies So.cl as an “experimental research project” developed by Microsoft’s FUSE labs.
The website functions as an image board powered by Bing, and in many ways it seems like a Pinterest/Google+ hybrid without trying to compete with any pre-existing networks. According to the FAQ, So.cl can be defined in three points:
- So.cl for anyone who has something to say – richly, simply, elegantly.
- So.cl helps you create rich stories (posts) by making it easy to assemble and share collages of web content
- So.cl helps you discover people with like interests, and discover interests shared by people you like
