News Desk: Finally Microsoft also entered into the zone of social networking with its recent website So.cl that should be pronounced as social. Although, it is a site identical to Facebook it is not exactly the same, as it mainly targets to the students.

So.cl is designed to give students the ability to network with peers to share information.

One can share information, such as websites and articles through this site. You need to type in the topic of your interest in a search bar, which in turn will bring up a list of material on that subject at So.cl. One can discuss with friends on So.cl while strangers with similar interests can also join in.

In the head “video party”, videos can also be added to a chat in So.cl. Microsoft further describes that through So.cl users can also be introduced to some subject areas they were previously unfamiliar with.

In the words of Microsoft “So.cl combines search and social networking for the purpose of learning and is the latest experiment from FUSE Labs.”

How to enter the zone of So.cl: one can login to the site with his Windows Live or Facebook account details. After being logged in, he will be presented with a bunch of suggested topics of interest to move forward.

So.cl has options such as 'share' or 'recommend' buttons like Facebook with something called "bookmarklet" that adds a "Share on So.cl" button to users' bookmarks toolbars, which allows them to share Web sites with other So.cl-based users.

Along with the entire usual features one can also "riff" on the post, which is something Microsoft describes as a new way to interact and improvise on content. So.cl is available at the website www.so.cl.

So go and get logged in to the new site of Microsoft and tell us in the comment box about your experience of the new web voyage.
