Officials at Boston College have made what may be a momentous decision: they've stopped doling out new email accounts to incoming students. The officials realized that the students already had established digital identities by the time they entered college, so the new email addresses were just not being utilized. The colleg (Read More)
: Interesting. I know here at my school many professors do not see your questions/concerns through email as legit unless they are sent through a school source (school e-mail); they are afraid they are spam. Most young kids create immature and embarrassing e-mail names ("stud", "hot", "baby"). In this case, they (probably) will create a new one when they start college if the school doesn't give them one. I know Google runs our school e-mail now and it great. I just can't imagine eliminating the school e-mail addresses altogether verification reasons.

: Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. What I imagined is that a 3rd party site could build code so that whenever a member posted a story there, it was automatically snipped into Socialmedian as well. So there'd be an API somewhat like the bit of the twitter API that allows a program to post a tweet.
: @jasongoldberg Thanks you, and everyone on the team in Pune, for all of the hard work you have done. I guess I better shave! This should be a great addition to the site. Hopefully it will bring a large part of the Seesmic userbase over to socialmedian. I've had an account set up there for weeks now, in the hope you might include this.(I bought a web cam too). Unfortunately, I might not be able to use it for a few days. My graphic card died on me a couple of days ago, and the onboard chip isn't cutting it. I'm going to contact Dell right now and see how long it will take to fix. I hope the rest of your trip brings many more exciting announcements! Thanks again!
