Microsoft has combined social networking with web searching for an experimental researach project called “Social” at www.so.cl.

Harnessing the power of Microsoft’s Bing search engine, users can enter a search term and as they find suitable matching content build up a montage of rich visual web content and links, which is then posted for sharing on the “social” website or facebook and other social networks.

Microsoft’s Social research project is formally being tested out by students in the U.S, however anyone is welcome to try it out.
