Microsoft has recently launched their So.cl social network, the network has been active for some time and was leaked last year, but until recently had only been avaliable to beta users, the network is now avaliable to anyone interested in it. So.cl is actual an experiment from FUSE labs looking into how online searching and social networking can be used to enhance learning, and it’s this reason which explains why it is not actually aimed as a competitor for Facebook.
Yesterday we ran a rather odd looking Windows Phone 8 rumor ( read ). Most of you guys agreed that it was most likely a fan made concept and not the real deal but now a Nokia Lumia 900 advertisement on pcadvisor.co.uk ( see source link below, it might still be up ) shows some interesting Live tiles.
Consumer Reports is an American magazine published monthly by Consumers Union and they publishes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory. Apparently their results are valued highly by the American consumers ( what do our readers from USA think ? ). They have recommended Nokia Lumia 900 as an ideal gift for Dads and Grandads for fathers day .. before the haters jump to conclusions they also said the device would be great as graduation presents for students.
Some new images have cropped up claiming to be design work for a future version of Windows Phone. The folks from Insideris is claiming this will be pre Windows Phone 8. It certainly does not look like Tango. The design itself looks a bit comical with Comic Sans used for the font. A wise designer and a few guys on twitter once told me “Comic Sans” are for n00bs when I had that in the Logo. ( you all know who you are )

Microsoft SkyDrive has recently been getting quite a lot of attention with the release of the SkyDrive app for Windows Phone as well as iOS, and Windows and Mac (Laptop/Desktop), they’ve also introduced paid storage tiers, where you can pay an annual fee for additional storage. It looks like this hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Anyone logging into Google Docs will notice a notification bar along the top of the screen informing users that ‘Google Docs will soon be upgraded to Google Drive’.
While many may be frustrated by this obvious copy of the name from Microsoft’s SkyDrive, it’s actually a very good sign, it means SkyDrive is gaining enough traction for Google to consider it strong enough competition to change their name to better compete against SkyDrive, though I’m sure Google’s Public Relations would have you believe its been in the words for some time.
