tulalip? that had better be a codename.
Good thing it was accidentally published to the web; it would have been a strange press conference to be at if they actually used this name.

#32I'll never use it
Why?
Re: Oops: Microsoft accidentally reveals secret social project
#33Everything microsoft attempts is so desperately uncool that the very concept of Microsoft doing social is futile.
There is literally no way they could make this work. It's another Ballmer "car crash in slow motion" initiative.

Maybe, but it could still provide useful competition in a market which desperately needs some. (No, two players are not enough.)

What about Kinect? Microsoft is big and there are a lot of people who like Microsoft or at least some products of it despite you like that or not. E.g. I have not seen Windows programming company without Microsoft evangelist yet. There are even more people who are indifferent to technology (similarly to human rights, wars, environment issues, religion and etc.).
Therefore Microsoft making social is not futile while I'm not sure if they really need that.

And they're again last to the party... they desperately need a Bill Gates again, or at least someone with vision.

#37looking at the screenshot, and actually reading the content of the small tiles, this does not look like G+/facebook/twitter, but more like a wikia/knol/stack*/quora.
I mean, there isn't anything in this single screenshot suggesting this as a new "generalistic" social network , so why are so many comments to this submission trying to frame it so?

#39I have trouble believing all these "accidental leakages" are actually accidents. The new trendy marketing gimmick?
It's their traditional "don't commit your efforts to our competitor - our product is just around the corner".
Invitation only rollouts would appear to follow a similar thought process.

People are going to hate explaining that name to people.
