Bragging Rights – I Just Got Access to so.cl, Microsofts New Social Network
Just for bragging rights, ive got an account on so.cl, microsofts new social media website. First impressions are its empty of people… kind of like how Google+ weas in the beginning. Theres some interesting things going on but overall its just in the same pickle as its Google counterpart… somewhere between Facebook and Twitter with neither the sparkle, content or simplicity needed to make it shine.

Hi Mark, gotta say that I don’t see how Microsoft expect this one to succeed when it looks like a G+ clone…which for the most part has died on its arse.
Facebook works because it’s easy for the everyday user. Even my mum can use facebook! But on Google+ she doesn’t have a hope and loses interest very quickly.
Is a social network successful if it’s populated mostly by media professionals? Well, only if it’s Linkedin and nobody’s abandoning that quite yet because it’s specifically targeted towards that demographic.
But like with anything new, let’s all jump on board just to see if this ship sets sail. Although I have a horrible feeling it’s going to sink at the dock.
