More than anything, I'm just impressed that this made it to the 50+ campuses without the tech world having any clue.
edit: ...and I'm in college. I wonder if this says anything about me :P
- waterlesscloud 16y agoI knew I'd seen it before here, it was submitted a couple weeks ago. Only 2 points, though, so I must have seen it on the New page. Thought it was pretty cool, bound to have some success, but no idea it was doing that well. And really didn't know why it had been submitted... Now I know! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1961088 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1961088

- stevefink 16y agoSometimes I still wish I was in college to figure out how this is on 50+ campuses, and today is the first day I'm hearing about the company. I'm married, and my college days are behind me, but I would have been all over this service in my younger days. I wonder if it'll go the Facebook route and eventually serve a more global market? Love the idea.
- coryl 16y agoI believe they may have been reaching out to college users to kind of create their own branch, or somehow handing out "credit" to the first people to "check in". If you look on each campus' about page, it will show a few names for the "founding members"
- kingkilr 16y agoA friend directed me to this site the other day (I'm a college student), for some reason I got the impression it was an older site, not something that was exploding in popularity.
- nzmsv 16y agoMy campus is apparently one of the top userbases (Queen's U). And I found out about the service this morning reading that dead thread about the job posting. So you are not the only one :)
- nolite 16y agoanyone know how they marketed this to 50 colleges?
