‘Aggreg8.net’ a new social networking site for IT pros from Microsoft

The snobbish giant of the IT industry Microsoft has launched a social networking site in collaboration with TechNet team and Culminis defined as ‘MySpace for IT pros’ and named ‘Aggreg8.net’. IT pros live in a different world so they need a special social networking site. Why I am calling Microsoft a snob? Well read through. The aim of this site is to give the IT professionals a platform for their discussions and networking. You can not just go on the site and sign-In but you will be required to produce a Microsoft.net passport but you can also use the password and ID of the hotmail account. Now that’s both snobbish and ridiculous. Kevin Remde, a Microsoft IT Pro evangelist said “Aggreg8 is a site for IT Pros to mix-n-mingle. It’s like a ‘MySpace’ (or a Windows Live Spaces) for IT Pros, complete with working groups on various topics that IT Pros get excited about.” So if you are not registered at any of the above Microsoft site you have no chance of getting into Aggreg8.net. I couldn’t use this site I have neither of the above accounts but from the reviews on net I get it that the style and the graphic are well designed but it lacks in certain features that the social networking site have today. Aggreg8.com and Aggreg8.net are the recent acquisition of the Microsoft. How good a response this site will get time will tell and we will report back as soon as we get more details. Via: Blogszdnet
