Microsoft Takes on MySpace and Facebook

with one comment

Microsoft has announced the creation of a MySpace-Like site just for the IT community. It is called Aggreg8.net.
From the front page:

Aggreg8 is a social networking and collaboration space for the IT community.  Inside you can keep track of your trusted network, find others through your network with similar interests or situations.  Then you can collaborate with anyone in the community inside our working groups.  …  So come on in and build your influence in IT!  To the MVP’s we offer a warm welcome for helping us to build the best community possible.

It might be cool to check out. I think I will sign up for an account tonight and see what it is all about.
