Microsoft Research launched a new social networking site called SO.Cl recently.  What is it, you ask?  Well, it centered on Bing searches and allows you to share your searches with friends, get their comments, conduct video chats and otherwise collaborate in ways familiar to users of Facebook, PinInterest and Google +.  Here is a video from Microsoft that shows the main points.

Microsoft Research has a webpage up that talks about the service.  Here how they describe it.
