The marketing strategy seems to start focusing in one big costumer: India. The MSN India home page is linking to this new social network site; and already is using a Scribble Pad feature same as Orkut (India’s favorite social network site); that actually works very similar as Facebook’s wall, where your friends can stop by and write something for you.

The usability is the same as any other social network. You don’t need to create an account, with your Passport (Hotmail or any other) will give you direct access to your profile. And the cool thing that I found so far, is the Windows Live Messenger integration with the site.

Still, it needs a lot of work and improvement to actually be considered as a Facebook competitor.
