Everyone loves a good bit of juicy gossip. Students love gossip more than anyone else. With a timetable that consists of watching Jeremy Kyle, re-using yesterday’s cereal bowl and waiting for Countdown in the afternoon, students have more time to spread the word than most other demographics.
Previously, the future generations of CEOs and McD’s cookers could only be restrained by the fact that some the crazy rumours might be traced back to them, but that is all about to change…
Juicy Campus is an online network that lets students (at campuses in the US) say whatever they want, anonymously. Hmm. Mix 1 part Facebook, 1 part Twitter feed and 3 parts diminished responsibility and I think we have a recipe for a disaster – or some serious cyber-bullying.
While JuicyCampus doesn’t actually allow search engines to index its content, there is already concern that the site could create a lot of issues. More concerning is the fact that news of the site has spread as fast as, well as fast as juicy gossip… as the site is frequently being pulled down due to traffic heavier than the servers can handle! Good thing too, because apparently the site had become such an addiction that its downtime made it all the more popular.
Personally, it just takes me back to the days of F*ckedCompany.
Should also mention BoredAt – same thing but for college people and those with real jobs
