and please no Quora news anytime soon.

Good Job Paul. startup foundry all the way!

apologies really. am seriously working on the site load speed. looking for a better host to move on to. all go round the pricing for what i may consider efficient. this slowness will soon be over. thanks for checking in by the way.

No problem. I have a lot of interest in independent learning, so I might try to check in in the future and see how things are.

oh cool. hope to see you there soonest.

In the last two months, we have received over 2million visits from students in 110 countries which is huge considering we went public in December.

1. We offer unique study groups to students to meet online and study together

2. We offer over 10,000 course resources for free to students. These courses are gathered from over 200 partner universities globally.

3. We offer students live academic help from professors from these universities to enable them better their academics.

I dont believe twitter or facebook can offer this now.

About marketing, there is little done about that because we are currently operating with personal funds. Once we get a seed investment, we can further our marketing and sales.

thanks

Cool. Does the web site actually say that? How would I know without signing up first? Why would I sign up without knowing it?

visit http://studentscircle.net/live/academic-resources to get access to the resources without signing up.

great idea behind your network. it would be much more lovelier if there is a more user friendly navigation on all the pages. Also possibly if you can get a better performing hosting service.

Also when you get on the events page or places, the Login on top of the site goes straight to twitter oauth, this will make it difficult for people who want to use your facebook connect if they get a link that takes them straight to the other pages and not the home.

Good luck with your endeavors.

thank you very much for your comments! I will now focus on user experience before implement new features.

i like mine http://studentscircle.net pretty much says what the startup is about

You've gotta really enunciate whenever you say it, or people will go to studentcircle.net

mine has survived 6months and hopefully we will pull through the years.. :)

i think the presence of a bubbling community of like minded people is a plus. You are exposed to more talents when you want to hire, there is more accessibility of funds. Oh, the press is going to talk about you.. whatelse? nothing

Where are all these likeminded individuals? Are there places other than meetups to find them?

This was my point. Everybody is talking about like-minded individuals and community, but where do you get to interact with them? Only one benefit I can think of is the exposure of talents, but then again you can find talents everywhere. All in all IMO, having startup in silicon valley is highly overrated.

Nice to see someone has my line of thinking. I'm sure we're not alone. It's probably just not trendy to talk about the valley the way we have.

I like it here, a lot, but I find it very hard to find people who actually have the same product building interests. Plenty of people who like the same tools (RoR, iOS, JS, etc) but much more difficult to find people who are as passionate about X and Y as you are.

done! hope we get featured and goodluck with your endeavors. there is need for real* tech news now.

Thanks. I just got your email, and will be taking a look at it in a little bit.
