Microsoft updates
Socl with a new look and new feature set as part of 'Spring 2013 Collection'
Back in December of 2011, Microsoft revealed its
Socl social-search project, which aimed to be a hybrid between social networking and search. A year later, Microsoft opened up the site and allowed anyone and everyone to sign up and use the social project. Now, Microsoft will be updating the site with a new feature set as part of 'Spring 2013 Collection.'
So what are the new features?
Simplified site navigation, including:
■ create a post button
■ discover (full site search and discovery)
■ pinned menu for quick access to notifications, messages, setting, parties and about
■ centered Socl logo to refresh the page
■ single click access to your profile
■ feed pivots between following and everyone
Collections and Interests merged into one concept:
■ collections curated by everyone (formerly Interests)
■ collections curated by individuals, including private collections
■ collection descriptions
■ tags now done at the collection level rather than the post level and applied only by collection followers
Better post creation, featuring:
■ drag and drop
■ resize
■ shuffle
■ share to other social networks
Other features include personal opportunity cards to help build your following feed, private messages, inline editing of profile information, enhanced discovery/search and presentation of related content, and enhanced first-time user experience. Microsoft has created these new features based on feedback from the community. Head over to
so.cl to try it out!
