The Redmond giant seems to be tapping the students community to promote their social network and has identified selected selected Universities in the US. From the official website: -
So.cl (pronounced "social") is an experimental research project, developed by Microsoftâs FUSE Labs, focused on exploring the possibilities of social search for the purpose of learning.
- 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.
- So.cl helps you create rich posts, by assembling montages of visual web content.
- To encourage interaction and collaboration, So.cl provides rich media sharing, and real time sharing of videos via "video parties."
