Microsoft Playing Catch Up with Wallop and Zune????
By Kris | September 28th, 2006 No Comments »According to an article in the Daily ‘Dog today, Microsoft has launched Wallop, it’s social network answer to Facebook and MySpace.
From Daily ‘Dog: “The new website, called Wallop, is bound to make a splash in the competitive pool of friend-collecting websites. Microsoft’s tagline for the site, which will offer a wide range of tools and features that will hopefully set it apart from similar pages, is ‘the exclusive social experience.’”
My Two Cents: I have seen a couple of articles mention Google and how it is playing catchup, well, I think it’s safe to say that Microsoft is playing the same game (read: Zune & Wallop). Hopefully for Bill Gates and company it isn’t a day late and a dolar short. We’ll see how Wallop fares and the Zune in November–which, by the way, it was announced this morning will be priced almost $1 more than the equivalent iPod.(Read the Reuters article here on CNN.com)
