Microsoft's new venture So.cl <http://www.so.cl/>; has two log in options - Live and Facebook.

Unless Microsoft are using this as an opportunity to leverage Facebook user info on the MS platform, the days of Live may be soon over.

so.cl is a research experiment focussing on academics; it's not meant to be a big new venture.

Why bother releasing it at all then. It just confuses your customers.

Surely this area would be better tackled by a lean startup.

For experiment you need data. Maybe for that.
