aggreg8 – The Myspace for IT Pros

Last Friday Microsoft launched aggreg8, a social networking and collaboration space for the IT community.

aggreg8 allows IT Pros to “mix-n-mingle” and a forum for developers to share scripts, tools, or best practices, or even to just connect with others within the profession.

Kevin Remde, an IT Pro evangelist for Microsoft, wrote in a blog post announcing the service.Aggreg8 has no relation to the RSS reader project that carried the same name. Philip Roche, the creator of that program, was approached in July by Microsoft if he would sell the domain names. Both Aggreg8.com and Aggreg8.net were sold for $5,000, he said in a blog post.
