Microsoft‘s New Social Network, So.cl: It‘s Like Google+ For Wonks

Labels: , , ,


File this in the "we-try-it-out-so-you-don't-have-to" category. So.cl is a acquired amusing arrangement that may be advantageous to students, but it will not fly elsewhere.Over the weekend, Microsoft agilely launched an beginning amusing arrangement alleged So.cl. It's a mix amid Google+ and Storify. Users are encouraged to seek for advice about a accurate topic, again abridge the best after-effects - textual content, images and videos - into a individual post. So.cl is initially targeted to students. It may end up getting advantageous to that market, but it's absurd to get absorption as a boilerplate amusing network. Here's why...


 Microsoft is calling So.cl "an agreement in accessible search," in that annihilation you seek for on the arrangement is arresting by added users and fabricated accessible to third affair developers. That description makes it complete like a absolute adversary to Google+, which was Google's attack at accumulation seek with amusing networking. It absolutely has similarities, but So.cl is ultimately an bookish apparatus moreso than a amusing one.


 To get started, you can assurance up application either your Facebook or Windows Live profile. Microsoft had little best but to advantage Facebook's amusing graph, accustomed that hardly anyone uses Windows Live (Microsoft's ID platform). Sure abundant Facebook gave me a acceptable leg up into the So.cl network, enabling me to auto-follow over 50 people. 


 The Features When it comes to application So.cl and award amount in it, the flaws become obvious. The Storify-like accession affection in So.cl is nifty, but aggregate abroad has been done afore in hundreds of added amusing networks: posting, commenting, tagging, liking, administration (two options: to Facebook or email!). The attempts at addition in So.cl assume forced. An advantage labeled "riffing" is declared to be "a new way to collaborate and ad-lib with content" - but in reality, it artlessly agency to re-share a column and optionally add your own animadversion or content.

The Features

When it comes to using So.cl and finding value in it, the flaws become obvious. The Storify-like aggregation feature in So.cl is nifty, but everything else has been done before in hundreds of other social networks: posting, commenting, tagging, liking, sharing (two options: to Facebook or email!).
The attempts at innovation in So.cl seem forced. An option labeled "riffing" is supposed to be "a new way to interact and improvise with content" - but in reality, it simply means to re-share a post and optionally add your own comment or content.
