CampusNetwork
From WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia
From WikiCU   CampusNetwork was an online community for Columbia students, and later other students, that was first launched in the summer of 2003. [edit] HistoryThe site was founded by Adam Goldberg and Wayne Ting. It was initially called SEASCommunity but it was soon renamed to CUCommunity. In September 2004, it relaunched as CampusNetwork, opening up access to students from many other universities. At its peak, 75% of the Columbia student body were registered members, and a total of 240,000 users at all the available universities. [edit] CharactersCUCommunity celebrities included Angry Cell Phone Guy, struggle, Dan Binder, Kirk Mullings, and a bunch of other nerds with way too much free time. Many of the malcontents from CUCommunity (Feinstein, ttan, Reaganaut, Pacman, absentminded, among others) now spend their free time editing articles here at WikiCU. [edit] ClosingThe website eventually closed in February 2006, presumed overpowered by Facebook. |
