KillerStartups.com, a top site for reviewing new startup companies has Google Buzz with lower votes than new Social Networking Community, Señor College, www.senorcollege.com. Google Buzz was highly anticipated, and probably some mega bucks spent on this one and to have a startup like Señor College beat it out with only a % of the budget, must be a clear loss for Google and a step up to the big leagues for Señor College.
Here's the KillerStartups.com review:
Although the public at large is delighted with something like Facebook, nobody would blame college users if they felt somehow incomplete now. After all, Facebook catered only for them in the beginning, and their parents could have no access to what they were doing, much less see pictures of their college lives. This site has come along in order to cover that need. Entitled Señor College
, it is made of three sections that go by the names of "Bar Scene", "The Red Cup" and "College Marketplace"
The "Bar Scene" lists over 40,000 college bars at over 600 of the top colleges and universities within the US. These can be rated by the users of Señor College, and comments can be left. Pictures can be uploaded, too. And bar owners can buy premium membership in order to add bar details, list drink specials and promote their businesses on the whole.
For its part, the “Red Cup” category is the place to check for campus parties. Parties from organizations like fraternities and sororities are prominently featured, of course. And in the section named “College Marketplace”
The vast majority of information is visible to registered users only, and in order to sign up you need to have a verified .edu address. This helps the data being protected from the outside world - the one aim of the site is there and then realized in a neat way. Chances are it will become a true point of reference for students all over the country.
