[alterego] : Wallop:

"Microsoft has introduced Wallop, an invitation-only social software tool that combines a photo album, blog, and ways to 'interact with your friends' - which, according to a Wired article, makes it sound kind of like Friendster, IM, and blogs all rolled into one: ''What we are interested in is the whole blossoming of blogs, which let people express themselves, and social-networking software, like Six Degrees or Friendster,' she said. 'It's a really easy way to author things, a really simple blogging tool that lets you add pictures.' "
