SO.CL A Breakthrough In Social Net

 

                   Have you ever see or even know internet before they invented search engine such as Yahoo! or Google ? As the net continues to grows, so does social networks. Nowadays many ideas on building social networks are limitless, but no one ever thought about building it in search engine, well Microsoft did. In there new research fuse lab, a New kind of social networks, SO.CL . This social networks originally build for students and establish for learning. This social networks is a search engine on socials, as you search on the net, you also able to post your search, and vice versa to the people your follow.

                   The Unix about so.cl is the architect very much like Google + , with a taste of Twitter (follow and following , and the typical of updating concept, instead of friends or circle of friends ) also yups, a search engine in main topic. As Microsoft FUSE research Lab said :

The So.cl search experience is powered by Bing; we use the public Bing APIs to display search result data. As students work together, they often look for the same content, and discover new shared interests by sharing results. These results can be web pages, images, or videos found through Bing. We see this trend today on many social networks, such as Twitter, where shared links spread virally and amplify popular content. So.cl experiments with this concept by letting you easily share links as you search.

                 As you search, you can also post them, and enables you to share with your friend. When you type SO.CL you will see this page :

socl-social-2

     And you might see something familiar with the page, yes … it was facebook login linked with so.cl, with this feature you’re able to link your facebook account, which is that is the Idea of SO.CL, to get your search share to others and to other networks as well. To get started, in this time, so.cl (pronounced : social) available only for University Students, but because of the invites feature they have on so.cl , I gladly able to invites only for 10 people, big different with Google + when they come in Beta versions, limited only for 50 people. And then, the first thing you might see on their profiler is :

#1

            A bit of taste of Google +, but with much feature, when you see the HOUSE pic, that HOME, indicated that you back to this profiler page, in the white box, meaning you type (the default function is as a search engine,) what you want to search, if you looked at the next icon , that is updating status icon, indicate that you type a status update, and the last icon (looks like a globe icon, indicates the privacy of your updated, meaning as a search or just updating status. The explanation on the first profiler is the main objectives of so.cl , things to do with your first login in. By the way, when you first login, (in beta only) if you’re invited by someone who already join this network, you might do some choices of people you would like to follow as your (friends). If you choose them, they will automatically described as your following people in the side of this page. The Profile tab is your recent doing and also available “setting” for your streams will look like :

#2

       A setting of notifications, and also if you click on the language translations setting you preferred :

#3

             Also your privacy settings and your preferred search provider, this so.cl really took you to the edge of internet and with social networks link you might put your self as a “teacher” and making people , or follower able to learn as you search and surf the web. An example of search as you type on the white box of your profiler,

#4

                      The first thing showed is the picture, of your search. This search will automatically pop ups in your feeds and also in your follower feeds. The great thin about so.cl is you able to share with your facebook page, as they also feature in tab,

#6

                       This setting is available when you updated first in so.cl and then you want to share with your facebook friends, or other feed that provide code in HTML, and if you like to link to other post of url, you want. As you surf on search engine, you shared to your follower, this is the main thing about so.cl, But when you search, you don;t search the web content only, if you preferred to search a video’s, you might like this feature on so.cl .. it is called : Video Party, which is the separate from search main profiler, and will take you to video page share, as you search on videos and share them and put them to your automatic feed with your following people.

#7

            Not like YouTube, this Video Party is available for your enjoyment as they stream, and you might look on others search videos as they search, and you look, you might get some other perspectives, and a broad views on videos or other content in the search engine, like a party.

#8

             In short, SO.CL really a breakthrough in social networks, not like many other social networks in putting on some point, like : music, hobbies, information's, videos and others, SO.CL is really a took a step in joining a search engine on social networks as they search and share, you learn something.. and you link them. SO.CL (even though still in beta) and limited to a numbers of people, but the main idea’s is taking them a huge leap on social networks and by joining to search engine, making them a bigger broad views of people to get to share, as the internet becoming so close, as you able to interact and share like in real life.

Google Schemer, Next Generation On Social Networks

                 There are many kind of social networks, some under big players like Google for example. And Google seems never give up on making rival on a specific or generally kind of social networks. In terms of specific kind of social like foursquare / place’s based updates, facebook done it with check-in functions button, as Google plus never fade out of update’s and grow number of users the functionality of Google plus seems to come to the point where it ended. In that point of view, Google under going to established a new kind of social networks, the specific one. Check in places social such as Foursquare as we all generally known, has paced up and strengthen themselves with recent bug fix and more clearly view on the map and easily check in status updates. When we use Foursquare, we click the place’s that there are so easily add and categories in a very simple way. As they also linked their updates to Facebook, we tends to use Foursquare with Facebook in the top. And as their reward to update’s more and more Foursquare gives them Badges, Mayorship and much much more. This newly kind of Google effort in social rivalry, will do as that but with better understanding.

                 Schemer, like the name meaning : which is to scheme , to make an action that represents other visualizations. First thing we need to do to join this social, is make up your mind, not like many kind of social, this one seems different in a way of using and making an updates. Because Schemer uses the attentions of their user to make an activity plan or as a escape into reality. As they also making places as their platform to ensure that people linked as they updates and making status. Well, for your intuastic needs, this is Schemer…

schemer01

              

               The activity for social, social networks, I hope I write it correctly, as this beta versions and nearly completed social networks seems to finished. The general idea’s is to make people or users with a better understanding of what their doing or check in places or just about thinking about getting ideas on doing something. In short, to help people with a broad understanding to an activity and asking advice to an experts of that particularly activity.

schemer02

              As they come in beta , perhaps I will help you to get to this social by just giving me your Gmail and i sent you an invitations to join schemer, because when you open the website, schemer is undergoing development by Google. When you had register them, the profiler will try to complete your registrations place in order to have a similarity to others that maybe having the same activity plan and locally based.

schemer03               The first thing you need to fill out in this boxes is an ideas, as the purpose of this social is to get to an activity in terms of use in place and in progress. As many people sign in and join this social networks, you will learn that there are many kind of activities that people wanted to do and be able to have their attention of doing it as a fulfilled.

schemer04

                The profiler seems to adopted from journal like views. And they tell you when you do that, how and accomplices and many more. As you trying to relate them all, the understanding of people would be out of the box activity, and not just sitting around and just looking in the box of lights and just making an updates. For this, I would say to Google, as a 2 – 0 to Facebook. marvelous

                 schemer05             

This social Journal-Like networks, first updates forms is to make a scheme, an ideas for you to make an activities. There are Want to do or your list of doing in your mind, and accomplishment and many many more.

schemer06

              When you had an idea/s just type down and also write it where you wanna do that activity.. after you had finished updating, a list of many other schemes / activities which has the slight of similarities. This allowed you to see what everybody think about doing something, well it journal-like social, with a global varieties of people and places all linked in one place. For this kind of social-like : there are also Plaxo, but the different is Plaxo uses phonebook and list of contacts of which linked to facebook also, and I must say, Google really looking for a rivalry in social networks to Facebook. For your enjoyment and everything that comes… Schemer seems never took you satisfied for what had you’ve done. Try it .. for a start : click on http://schemer.com … enjoy.
