Yeah, I like the service. Free and useful.

You even posted in the thread.

but sure you can find me on there.

I thought it's only available for people in certain colleges.

Oh well. I'm on there, but I don't pay attention to it because, well, it's useless. And you can't have my name (not that it would matter because it's not my real name there anyway).

But I suppose you can try to find me if you want.

Still can't use it. My junior college doesn't have e-mail addresses for their students so...

Have to wait until I transfer elsewhere.

My college finally got it, and yeah, I'm on it.

Jeez, Xantar, you got some hate for the program, which I don't understand. What do you hate so much about it?

For me it's an easy way to keep in contact with friends, especially ones that I don't see very often because they live across the country. It's like an email system, but better because it gives you more information on the person (and there's no spam). Do you hate email?

Facebook isn't unique, and though I like their format it's limiting because they only allow people from universities and with that only universities in America to join. I started using MySpace because anyone across the world can join (which I need) and it reminds you about birthdays and keeps track of any changes in friends' addresses and phone numbers and email addresses etc.

It sounds like I'm defending it, which I guess I am, but really I'm just curious why you don't like it.

I'd use that, but a heck of a lot of people at my school use other methods, namely Xanga. There's a whole entire blogring on Xanga just for my campus. Of course, I'm not a member, because I'd be the only non-asian.

Does that have canadian colleges/universities?

Is there like a list of colleges that it supports? Because I type my college email address in there and it says its not valid. Im going to a local junior college so maybe it just dosent have us on there?
