Date: March 28th, 2004 10:26 PM Author: Spectacular abnormal crotch Actually, it's crazy popular at Harvard (apparently 85+% of the undergrads, plus who knows how many others). I dunno how it's doing elsewhere, and the creator's not too open about numbers, excepting at H (which leads me to believe it's not growing as fast as he would like).

I gather the only limitation on growth is server capacity |

Date: March 28th, 2004 10:34 PM Author: Spectacular abnormal crotch Nah, the thing about the site is that initial growth is pretty easy. The hard part is maintaining people's interest. Harvard's the only example, so far at least, of people actually caring much.
MIT's had it around, and people are semi- into it, but I imagine it'll be a fad thing that dies off in a few weeks.
At best, he'll be able to brag about the number of people joining his site; I'm almost positive very few people *use* it. |

Again, Harvard's probably the only school with widespread adoption among alumni. |

To me, it wouldn't make sense to skip it altogether or do it on PR, since I think most of the candidates might be here on xoxo. They deserve some recognition for their contribution to the board community. It'll cause great controversey and be one of the things they can argue over. |

It sounds like they can barely keep up with the demand.
