Microsoft is inventing a new social networking tool, devised for emergencies. Currently in beta in Seattle, it’s a location-aware social networking application focused on being a robust means of local communication that’ll work even in times of emergency.
It’s a desktop client (available for Windows only), and you can also post to it via e-mail or SMS. It gathers local news from 20,000 sources and displays it on a map. It lets you post alerts (short messages) and reports (longer posts). Finally, it integrates with Facebookwhile Twitter integration will be added at a later date.
