"Microsoft has begun a limited private beta test of an emergency social networking service that provides subscribers with a Twitter-like messaging system to track family, friends or special groups. Microsoft Vine is a downloadable application that collects news reports related to a specific area when disasters strike -- hurricanes, earthquakes pandemics, etc. It lets members of a registered group keep in touch with each other through text messages and emails.

Microsoft debuted Vine in its own back yard in Seattle to some 10,000 area residents in the first round of testing. The company plans additional tests in undisclosed locations in the Midwest and on an isolated island community. No detailed beta schedule or planned live launch dates have been made available."
