PC Magazine | at | by Mike
On Thursday, Microsoft is expected to show off its new business-focused social networking project called "TownSquare" at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston . The project has been in "incubation" for some time.
TownSquare is a social networking platform designed for internal company use. Rumors are that it looks like Facebook . The goal is to provide a system for storing anniversaries, job promotions, shared docs, and other information about employees. Sounds like a suped-up and eye-pleasing version of Microsoft Outlook to us.
