Ignoring for the moment that the interface looks a lot like that other social network

…and that other other social network…

Socl offers a bare bones, three column layout, with basic navigation in the left rail, a social feed down the middle, and invites and video party options on the right.

Replace “Socl” with “Google+” or “Facebook”, again.

Microsoft either produces slick, otherworldly futuristic concepts, or they copy the things other people do better (c.f. Zune, Silverlight, et. al.).
