'''Adam Goldberg''' [[SEAS]] '[[2006|06]]/[[2007|07]] was the founder of [[CampusNetwork]] and [[Carsplit]]. Goldberg, originally of the Class of 2006, served as president of the freshman engineering class in 2002-2003, was elected VP-Internal of [[ESC]] e-board his sophomore year<ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/node/11977]</ref>, and suceeded to the [[ESC]] presidency his junior year, with the likelihood of repeating as president the following year, becoming the first two-term student government president at Columbia since [[Michael Novielli]]. However, Goldberg resigned in September of 2006 in order to take a leave of absence to focus on developing CampusNetwork.<ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/node/15268]</ref>

Goldberg was known for his prolific web design output, having developed a new website for ESC during his freshman year and following that up with his best known project on campus, the fledgling [[SEASCommunity]]. The site was relaunched in January of [[2004]] as [[CUCommunity]], an e-community that rapidly developed a small but fiercely loyal user-base. CUCommunity had the misfortune of being overshadowed by the launch of [[Facebook]] at Columbia. CampusNetwork was the Fall 2004 national launch of CUCommunity, but failed to gain much traction, and eventually folded.

Goldberg also worked on sites including Carsplit, Facemix, Friendex (a 'Facebook' site for High School that predated Facebook's own entry into the market, which was terminated by Goldberg as a favor to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg).<ref>[http://portfolio.ajg.net/projects/e1adc]</ref> Goldberg also created the prototype for [[WikiCU]] from a server in his dorm room in 2006.

During Goldberg’s tenure on student council, he created and introduced the first online elections system still in use today by the [[ESC]], replacing its use of paper ballots. He developed a birthday mailing system to automatically e-mail students and alumni once a year on their birthdays. He is also responsible for the original [[Assassins]] application that kept track of players’ scores and the game ecosystem.

Goldberg returned to Columbia as a member of the Class of 2007 and accepted a position on the ESC as Director of Technology. From that position he launched a losing battle to get ESC to hold direct elections. He resigned, graduated, and has since moved on to other stuff.<ref>http://columbiaspectator.com/node/20550</ref>

In 2009 he was announced a Founder’s Fund Tech Fellow<ref>[http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/05/2009-techfellow-awards-the-winners/]</ref> and was awarded $50,000 for his development of [[Topic.org]] which is slated to launch in early 2010<ref>[http://www.crunchbase.com/person/adam-goldberg]</ref>.
