I am part of a beta testing group and one of the things we are testing is www.studentsalltogether.com .

When I first saw the site I thought that this was basically just an exact copy of facebook.com , which basically it is.

The sites aim is to be to UK students what facebook is to US students. Problem I thought it that alot of UK students can and already have facebook accounts, so why do we need another?

It will be UK only, it will be free from advertising (paid for by donations) and they don't sell your infomation on to third parties or obtain infomation about you from third parties like facebook does. This I think is a good thing.

Anyway they want as many students as possible to sign up and try to iron out as many bugs as they can. So please sign up and tinker about.

I don't think it'll matter that we already have facebook, as more people are likely to have friends at UK uni's, if they're from here, than American uni's. Plus its another form of procrastination, isn't it?

as if there werent enough site;s to sign up for and waste time on at exam time, here's another.


what fantastic timing you have.


yeah you were right, even the homepage looks like a rip off of facebook.
might go for it though, i dont like the way facebook is changing everything too much.

Hmm, signed up for it, but I can't see it getting bigger than the St Andrews facebook any soon to be honest...

Everybody hop on the social networking website bandwagon!

[theonlyone]

Yeah I just joined, the lay out is a bit useless, so long and narrow, and the search tool is crap, and you cant up load as many pics o ur self! I think Bebo may be where most of my friends will stay! well those who arent Facebook...

I got another one of these for www.pplparty.co.uk, they are all trying to cash in on facebook's success and your better off not bothering, the only thing they are interested in is making profit quickly.

Edit. I wish facebook would get round to adding more UK unis though, at least maybe these upstarts will force them to expand a little.

I got dragged into Hyves, which I think is a European one.

ETA: Not to mention this one has the shittiest name ever. Students All Together? Could it be any lamer?

From America, a bill designed to people using sites like Facebook safer from online paedophiles by banning young people from those same sites.

I hold an element of surprise

[richey]

Facebook has recently added York UK and Birmingham UK as well as a few other UK unis, so they are getting there slowly...

I signed up for this studentsalltogether thing, and I agree, it is just a crappy version of facebook.

[October]

Great timeing tho, I have an exam tomorrow.
i'm going to fail. Ah well.

It was the Ninja Robot Monkeys that did it.

Facebook finally added Glasgow a couple of days ago.

If they'd add Aberdeen and Dundee as well, then all my old school friends would be on it.

(Seeing as about 20 of my school year are at St Andrews alone... plus those in the years above).

[maenad]

Just had a look and Newcastle, York and Cardiff have now been added. That's my friends sorted.

When social networking websites get big you should be paying attention. If I were you I'd hope facebookcom does not add more universities.
