What is So.cl?

So.cl is a social networking and content aggregation site that was launched in 2011 by Sony Corporation. The platform was intended to integrate social networking features like user profiles, status updates, commenting, and content sharing with real-time trend discovery and aggregation of content from around the web.

Some key features of So.cl include:

• User profiles - Users can create profiles and connect with friends and people with similar interests.
• Status updates - Users can post status updates with text, photos, videos, and links.
• Content sharing - Users can share content from YouTube, Flickr, Twitter and other sites.
• Trending discovery - So.cl algorithmically surfaces popular and emerging topics and content.
• Comments and likes - Users can comment on and like others' posts to interact.
• Customizable streams - Users can customize keyword-based streams of content being shared.

The site was designed with a heavy emphasis on visualization and presenting content in an engaging, magazine-like interface. Streams of content are organized into columns categorized by source or topic. The site also allows users to form or join interest-based groups.

So.cl struggled to gain significant user traction in the competitive social media landscape. As of 2022 the site remains online but Sony appears to have ceased actively developing the platform any further.
