Microsoft to open social bookmarking for techs

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft is not going to the social networking craze pass it by.

So get ready for the latest from the software giant in the form of a social bookmarking service aimed at developers and other members of its tech-focused communities, the Microsoft Development Network, TechNet and Expression.

In early September, Microsoft plans to open access to those sites, making the social bookmarking application that it previewed in May generally available.

"Since then, thousands of technical professionals from around the world have begun using it to save their web favorites online, share them with others, see what other technical pros are favoriting, and connect with others," John Martin, Microsoft's lead evangelist for servers and tools online, wrote in a blog post.
