For a brief period of time http:\/\/www.socl.com was a live website that looked like the screencap above, revealing to the world that Microsoft is in fact working on a social web service. Although hosted at Socl (social, get it?), the site referred to the project as Tulalip. The current site claims that &#8220;Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web&#8221; but all signs point to it being more than just an &#8220;internal design project.&#8221; Microsoft is definitely keeping mum about the whole thing and was unavailable for comment when we contacted them, so no further details have emerged on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it a Facebook killer? Is Microsoft taking on Google Plus? It is unknown whether Tulalip will be a full fledged social network but the site clearly pointed to being able to &#8220;Find what you need and Share what you know easier than ever.&#8221; This sounds like more of a social extension to Bing than an all out social network, as it offers logging in from both Facebook and Twitter. The now-familiar Tile interface was also shown on the site but it is unknown whether or not the interface of the service will have the Tile-based UI. Only time will tell what Tulalip really is but early signs are pointing to a web extension rather than a Facebook killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/fusible.com\/2011\/07\/new-microsoft-social-search-service-called-tulalip-revealed-on-socl-com\/\">Fusible<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft&#8217;s secret social weapon?
