The Web site, socl.com, was discovered by Fusible yesterday. According to the blog, the site discussed a "social search" service, called Tulalip, that would allow users to "find what you need and share what you know." Much of the site did not work, according to Fusible, but the blog was able to determine that Microsoft was behind it.
Following that report, Search Engine Land discovered a few more details about Tulalip, including the service's Facebook and Twitter sign-in buttons. Search Engine Land said that when it tried to authorize Tulalip to work with Twitter, it was called an "experimental app." The authorization said that the app allows users to "read tweets from your timeline; see who you follow, and follow new people; update your profile; and post tweets for you."
For its part, Search Engine Land wasn't so quick to call Tulalip a "social-search" service, but did say that it appeared to be "a hybrid search/social-networking service." More
