New Social Networking Site Uses Innovative Concept to Facilitate Relationships Outside of the Internet
Berkeley, California (ContentDesk) January 11, 2006 -- BuddyMapper (http://www.buddymapper.com), the newest social networking site online seeks to shift social networking from online to offline.
The social networking platform implemented allows users to visually use an online map to find other members with similar interests emphasizing relationships outside of the internet.
This technology takes social networking in an entirely new direction by highlighting the benefits of location, providing users the ability to actually meet and activity together.The innovative social networking system allows users to instantly find others who share similar interests within their neighborhood by zooming into their neighborhood and viewing/filtering profiles of other users within their vicinity.
Members may create personal pages to express themselves along with other social networking functionalities such as blogging, photo sharing and messaging.Whether it be finding a group to watch movies with on Friday nights or a group that enjoys doing arts and crafts together on weekends, BuddyMapper facilitates the creation of non-virtual relationships.
Members have already created groups ranging from charities such as TeenHelp.org (http://www.buddymapper.com/group/TeenHelp) to Make-Out Clubs (http://www.buddymapper.com/group/SoCalMake-outClub).
BuddyMapper is a UC Berkeley student run startup using Google Maps technology and the internet to facilitate relationships outside of the internet..

The award does not have to be given every year, and the last time someone received the award was over twenty years prior to Darius' return.
In pursuit of this venture, Darius faces limitless temptation, as well as those whose only goal is to try to pull him backward.Grime and Glory was written by Emeka Onyejekwe, a law student at New York University School of Law in the Class of 2006, and a former Ohio State University football player.
As a former scholar-athlete, Onyejekwe gives an insider perspective...

Teacher Websites - A Student's Perspective
I have been a student for many years.
I even took the 7-year plan to go through college for my Bachelor's degree.
Every so often I still take another course.
Since much of my studies and background involve web-related stuff, I tend to notice other people's websites.
(My wife who owns a little hair salon always notices people's hair.) My colleges have normally been well supported, and in my last one the teachers had their own web page on the campus website.
It included a one-page description of the teacher's credentials, a picture and some contact information.
I found this very useful - since I could find the email for the teacher (especially since I tended to loose handouts that were given a month ago).
It also helped me get to know a little more about the teacher.Unfortunately, these pages were seldom (if ever) updated.
Eventually they disappeared with budgetary restrictions.Lately I have noticed on the web that...
