Will Microsoft Launch A Social Network?

Microsoft may be gearing up to jump into the lucrative social networking fray by launching a social networking site,according to a report. If this is really true, then it will be interesting to see how the three-way dance between the giants Microsoft, Google, and Facebook ends up.

Microsoft has reportedly bought a site Socl.com, and it is not just the name that hints at it being a "social" networking site in the making. A few days ago, Socl.com hosted a teaser page for a service called Tulalip, which is the name of one of the Native American tribes based near Microsoft's Redmond office. This service advertised itself in the teaser as a service that lets users "...Find what you need and Share what you know easier than ever". There was a link saying "See how it works", and there were options to connect via Facebook and Twitter.
