Microsoft's Financial social network

Microsoft is tapping the social network phenomenon by starting up one of their own. This financial social network will focus on finance professionals, and be targeted towards career roles. By the sounds of things, this financial site could be based of the current Microsoft Live pages idea where users get their own personal blog area with the addition of forums, and on Microsoft Dynamics Live.

I know what you're saying. Oh no, not another social network started by a big tech company, and that's exactly what our thoughts are. With Reuters having announced their financial network set to berecently, we could see a full on financial social network war. However, companies like Microsoft do have built in following already, so the potential impact this network could have in a short amount of time could be quite high.

Could Microsoft announce new communities for sales, marketing, operations, HR, and IT fields later this year?
