Microsoft Social Media Site Accidentally Revealed

Posted by Soulskill on from the keeping-up-with-the-googses dept.

BogenDorpher writes "Looks like Microsoft is trying to steal the spotlight from Google — a new social media site from the company was accidentally revealed. The site, branded 'Tulalip,' was not functional, and it was taken down shortly after its discovery. It appears to be a 'social search' service. Microsoft says it went live by accident, and was simply an 'internal design project.'"

    "Tulalip"?

    Why, it practically trips right off the tongue. Then plunges to its death.

    Oops, we accidentally secured a four-letter domain, registered it with DNS servers, and uploaded content to it. But it was all a mistake.

    They should have named it Puyallup. Nobody but locals ever pronounces that right.
