ConnectU site goes live

By Nils Menten – Thursday, May 20, 2004 / 12:00am View more articles

Cambridge, Massachusetts - ConnectU recently launched a brand-new social networking service targeted at an audience its founders know well: the Ivy League of colleges and universities. The popular service is the brainchild of three recent graduates of Harvard University Class of 2004. ConnectU allows students and alumni to connect and collaborate, on a professional or personal level, to help them network and connect within their collegiate community. Members use the service for everything from swapping textbooks and connecting with classmates to finding friends with similar interests and activities.

iMarc built and hosts the ConnectU site and the underlying applications that power the service. ConnectU is currently online at 33 leading colleges and universities, with more planned for this fall.

A better tool

Dave Tufts commented: Just downloaded Soulver - it's great. I also like using the search box in my browser or Google. Similar, linear layout to Soulver. (for the record, that giant calculator on my desk looked like a small regular-sized calculator in the picture on Amazon)

Lunchroom Banter (Volume XX)

Nick commented: Since Bill didn't do it, I will. "Oh snap!"

iMarcians with staying power

Nick commented: Congratulations on the anniversaries. I had a professor tell me early on at the Art Institute that "you can expect to change web jobs every 2-3 years until you settle somewhere". I love proving this guy wrong every day. Congrats again.

Twitter, Alone, Is Not Customer Service

Jay G commented: Same here, and my story is with Alaska Air, too. Their website said the customer service phone number was open something like 8am-8pm PST, but this was after hours, so I tweeted. Lo, and behold, I got a tweet response in 10 minutes with the 24/7 phone number. But this didn't change the confusion from their website…

Mobile browsers: Here's the data

Robert Mohns commented: The data comes from visitors to iMarc.net — an important detail I forgot to include! — not the web as a whole. As for why so little Flash on mobile devices… I'd say this is because even Flash Lite is pretty resource intensive, and it's just not essential to the core content most people need to access. I don't think it has a lot to do…
