Microsoft creates its own social search engine?

Recently, screenshots of an interesting project found on a domain owned by Microsoft Corporation appeared on the Web. Immediately after the appearance of this information, rumors arose (as without them) that the software giant is going to create its own social search service, well, or something like its own Google +. Thus, Microsoft plans to occupy its own niche in the field of social projects.

The Microsoft project in its infancy was discovered by the authors of the fusible site, and the project itself is located on the domain socl.com, which is owned by Microsoft. Earlier, as you know, the Bing search engine received integration with Facebook, allowing the user to see what his “friends” like on this social network. But it seems that something more is being prepared than just the integration of social network functions into a search engine.

The new Microsoft project is supposedly called Tulalip (in any case, this name could be seen on socl.com). On the page, besides the graphics, there was a search line (not working), plus a couple of buttons for integration with Facebook and Twitter. By clicking on the button, the user finds himself on this page:



A little later, apparently, having seen the influx of visitors, all the above elements were removed from the socl.com domain. Instead, this page appeared:



Maybe this project really does not matter, being something like the "homework" of someone from the staff. Or maybe this is really the beginning of something bigger that will soon be presented by the corporation.
