Microsoft Social Networking Site, Tulalip – A couple days ago, Microsoft social networking site has been spotted which certainly unofficially confirmed some rumors than mentioning Microsoft is preparing a social network to rival Google+ and Facebook if they can.

Seeing the Google finally release their Google+, looks like Microsoft finally decided to change a Socl.com to Tulalip, which name taken from an Indian tribe name in Washington. The welcome page of Tulalip mentioned “With Tulalip you can find what you need and share what you know easier than ever”. And on the side of the screen, there are buttons to signing in through Facebook and Twitter.

Even so, when you try to getting into the Tulalip site at this moment, Microsoft already replaced the message into an apology that mention that there are some internal mistake on Microsoft Research team. Unfortunately, people has concluded that Microsoft finally started to take action with their Tulalip in order to rival Google+ service which expected to exceed 10 million account on the near future, and maybe more than.

But it looks like Microsoft will cooperate with Facebook in order to rival Google as since a long time, Microsoft and Facebook has already shown a good cooperation in their service. For example, Microsoft has added Facebook “Like” button in their Bing search engine in May, Microsoft also adding Facebook on their upcoming mobile OS, named “Mango”.

Although Microsoft has decline that the Tulalip is a social network they prepared to rival Google+ and insist that it is only an intern mistake, the prospect of Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter collaborating to create a rival for Google+ is certainly great. Just imagine that Windows Phone 7 Mango, integrated with facebook, twitter and other specialization of those three company, will Google+ stand a chance?
