So.cl opens for Students- Microsoft Social netwroking site

Socla , a social network project in which the Redmond tucked went through its R Fuse Labs . Today this initiative a step further with the partial opening of the service to some selected universities, because that is the purpose of this new product, is a powerful communication and learning tool for students.

From the moment the link So.cl (in effect, with dominance of Chile) can be accessed by anyone. It is in experimental stage and currently only accepts as members students of the University of Washington, New York and Syracuse. On entering we find a video explaining the service and a button to register. As can be seen in the capture curiously attached to this registration is done through our Facebook account. How is it possible? Is it not a social network itself and different? Yes, but it is clear that the purpose of Social not compete with the general social networking as Google +, Facebook or Twitter (at least for now), but find a hole more specific, the students and their work learning.

To do a quick review of what contributes to the social landscape So.cl Internet, this tool is an experiment based on the search. This means that network members can exchange links and Bing search results with their contacts within the network, but any other member of So.cl can access that information shared in the style of what happens on Twitter. Not only that, because it is also possible to exchange photos and other items to start video calls which involved real-time information exchange.

So.cl seen before looks great and we look forward to try it. Something different is whether the gap will get done given that for many other social networks can be used for similar purposes.
