With Apple, Facebook and Google getting all the attention these days, Microsoft has leaked its own social networking secret (which they claim was unintentional) to get some important press hits. Microsoft’s social networking platform is named Tulalip and has some kind of Facebook and Twitter integration. According to Jordan Crook of TechCrunch:

From the looks of it, this will likely be a venture into “social search” with Bing running the show. “With Tulalip you can Find what you need and Share what you know easier than ever,” reads the teaser tagline. Notice the capitalization of Find and Share? Yep, we’re pretty sure this will be where search meets share, which is kind of good news since you can’t do a Google search within Google+ (What’s that all about, anyways?). Oddly enough, there are Facebook and Twitter log in fields on the teaser page, which leads us to believe that this will be a rather light foray into social networking rather than a heavy-duty Microsoft experience.

Microsoft has removed that teaser page and replaced it with “Thanks for stopping by. Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web. We didn’t mean to, honest.”
