Interesting news. Microsoft has a lot of exploratory and innovative activities going on externally which could provide interesting feedback loops to its core enterprise software group (e.g., Knowledge Network). For additional information, as reported by Mary Jo.
Aggreg8 is a social networking and collaboration space for the IT community. Inside you can keep track of your trusted network, find others through your network with similar interests or situations. Then you can collaborate with anyone in the community inside our working groups. We even allow you to create your own working groups, choosing if you want to collaborate with the whole community or collaborate in private working groups. All the expected tools are there for collaboration, allowing you to create postings, post files, share events. And you can tag, rate reply to any posting. Of course Aggreg8 can come to you as all the working groups come with an RSS feed. So come on in and build your influence in IT! To the MVP's we offer a warm welcome for helping us to build the best community possible.

Mike,
would have missed this but for your blog. I'm interested in any new/emerging social networking tools since I've been trying to get the public sector (local gov) interested in the form of collaboration over the past 12 months. Have referenced your post on my blog (Dissident). Will monitor your blog more closely in future!
Best wishes
Steve Dale
