Microsoft takes the wraps off of So.cl, a search-based social network for students

A few months back we got a quick sneak peek at Microsoft’s social experiment which was, at the time, called Tulalip . Now it’s finally gone official and scored an even harder to pronounce name So.cl.

Chanel counterfeiters beware: US federal court orders domain names seized and de-indexed

We’re well versed in the art of the gadget KIRF ’round these parts, but counterfeiting’s a problem faced by the fashion world, too. Chanel filed suit in federal court to stop hundreds of websites from selling KIRFs of its gear, and the judge recently ordered the seizure and transfer of those domain names to GoDaddy to hold in trust until the case is resolved. It was also decreed that they be stricken from the indices of search engines and social media — including, but not limited to Bing, Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

Microsoft, Baidu strike China search deal

When it wanted to increase its search market share in the US, Microsoft sought out a partnership, resulting in a Yahoo-branded engine with Bing-flavored results. So, it seems natural that the company would look for a similar deal in China, the world’s largest market, where the company only manages a presence of around one-percent of search. This time, however, Microsoft’s managed a deal with the number one search engine, Baidu, which currently lays claim to three-quarters of the Chinese market — far greater than Google’s 20-percent or so.

Bing adds Facebook ‘friend effect’ to search, hopes you ‘Like’ it

If you’ll recall , Google has been pushing social integration into its search algorithm quite aggressively for the past few months; lest we forget the versatile +1 button . Not to be out done by Team Google’s spider-crawling and link-snatching ways, Microsoft has announced full-on Facebook integration for Bing.
