Microsoft Makes Secret Deal

The domain Aggreg8.net which was a former RSS reader seems to have been bought out by Microsoft for $5,000 dollars. The company has now changed its domain to aggreg8.co.uk. The Microsoft version of this site appears to be a social networking site for computer geeks. Ironically upon clicking on the highest rated groups section, a group called "Linux Group" is number one. The site in general is lacking a lot of features, and doesn't appear to be completed "“ or anywhere close to it. Since no official press release about the new service has been released, we'll assume it's nowhere near ready for the public yet. It's currently unknown why they choose this domain out of all the possible domains out there. This new service isn't really worth checking out until it is completed and officially released.
