A Microsoft social networking website
This last Tuesday, Microsoft entered the social networking world by releasing its beta-version of Socl (pronounced Social) to the general public. Originally launched last May, Socl has been in the beta testing stage and made available to college students and invited Microsoft employees.

Social Network giant, Facebook, opened its newest office in Dubai on May 30th; an unexpected event considering the disappointing IPO a mere two weeks prior. Adding to the list of more than 25 locations world-wide, Facebook is hoping to strengthen the ad sales in the region to target the 45 million users in the Africa and Middle East region. Shortly after the opening, Facebook Arabia’s Regional Solutions manager Majid Johnson announced the release of “Facebook Platinum” to be sometime in November. Ambiguously described, this exclusive membership will only be available to the countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which includes: Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman.

As if accessing that information wasn’t easy enough already through users up to the second posts, what better way to dig even deeper into your personal life than through a smart phone built to make sharing every minute detail easier than ever?

Update 5/21/2012: Facebook drops 11% this morning. Morgan Stanley, the company used by Facebook as the lead underwriter for their IPO, propped up Facebook late Friday, but couldn’t fake the value and price forever.
At 9:30 this morning Facebook offered itself to investors beginning at a debut price of $38.00 per share with an amazing jump to $42.05 within the first twenty minutes. Bittersweet to say the least, they dropped back down to the original pricing and ended with +0.61%, horribly disappointing considering the buzz around the IPO. Regardless, Mark Zuckerberg is one very rich man, but what if he didn’t want to go public? What are the repercussions now that you can buy your share of Facebook?
