Microsoft to focus on Students: Readying Channel 8

[anandk]

Microsoft is readying Channel 8, the latest social-networking site targeted at students, in its arsenal. While rumors swirl that Microsoft might be considering buying FaceBook, the company is continuing to build out its own family of blogs, wikis, video and other community-outreach tools to connect with current and potential users. So far, there’s nothing but a logo on the site. Source.

For those who may not know, Microsoft also currently runs a student-outreach site, The Spoke, where students can host their blogs and participate in community discussions, and interact with technology students from all around the world. Microsoft Student Partners site is another site in its arsenal.
