Have you tried the new social network - so.cl?

Have you tried the new social network - so.cl?

So.cl is the name of the new social network that comes straight from Microsoft.

About a month ago, there were "rumors" on the net that Microsoft was launching its own social network, then better known as "Tulalip". Today we have the opportunity to get acquainted with that social network, but under the final name so.cl.

How to register on this network? It's simple, through a Facebook account. Yes, Microsoft has figured out which platform is the most popular. There, one click and you can access the so.cl network.

Now that you are logged in, what should you do first? Change the basic information if you want. Name, surname, picture, and several other data were automatically downloaded from Facebook. Choose the area that interests you and start following the news. On the right side, you will see "Video Parties".

What are "Video Parties"?

You can find a group, or create a new one yourself, where you will insert clips and listen to the same songs together with others. For example, You enter the group of one of your favorite artists, below you see songs that others have posted, and in the middle is a video clip. That clip is listened to by everyone in the group and cannot be rewound or changed. You can add any song you want to the waiting queue.

On the left side you can see 5 options:

Explore - go in search of interesting things,

Feed - something like the home page on Facebook,

Posts - these are like some statuses,

Profile - your profile,

Interset - areas that interest you, i.e. that you follow.

At the very top, you will notice a search field - Bing's search engine. There you can search for anything that interests you. find something interesting and follow it, or comment on it. Also, in the same field, you will see an icon in the shape of a speech bubble. Clicking this icon turns the search field into a status field.

The network is still in the development phase, so it is quite slow and has quite a lot of bugs.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot?
