Microsoft Leaked Its Own Social Networking Secret, Then Swore It Was Accidental - TechCrunch

Microsoft Leaked Its Own Social Networking Secret, Then Swore It Was Accidental - TechCrunch | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it
Hot on the heels of all this Google+ madness, Microsoft has “unintentionally” leaked its own social networking platform.

From the looks of Tulalip, this will likely be a venture into “social search” with Bing running the show. “With Tulalip you can Find what you need and Share what you know easier than ever,” reads the teaser tagline. Notice the capitalization of Find and Share? Yep, we’re pretty sure this will be where search meets share, which is kind of good news since you can’t do a Google search within Google+ (What’s that all about, anyways?). Oddly enough, there are Facebook and Twitter log in fields on the teaser page, which leads us to believe that this will be a rather light foray into social networking rather than a heavy-duty Microsoft experience. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em right?

Conversations Matter in Google+ Chris Brogan

Conversations Matter in Google+ Chris Brogan | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it
So far, one thing I notice about Google+, is that you get rewarded for starting and carrying on good conversations. Wow, doesn’t that sound like the Kumbaya phase of social media? Well, it’s true inside of Google+, at least for now. There’s a ranking system that puts people’s most interacted-with stuff at the top of the stream of information, such that the most talked-about pieces are the most relevant. To that end, conversation certainly matters.
