Dear Press members,

Here is a detailed description of campusroll.com. If you want to know more about us, please contact us.

Campusroll.com was launched in July 2005, by two students of economics and a small team of programmers. The idea was simple: networking the university students across the European borders. Campusroll is the first of its kind.

Campusroll is free for all students. The platform automatically builds inter-university networks, and also helps making simple contacts to friends and other classmates. This enables students to exchange information in many types or forms, such as forming interest groups and file sharing. It is meant to be fun!!

Probably some of the best features of Campusroll.com is that it accepts students only with an e-mail account from their respective universities (such as john@oxford.ac.uk). This assures that only genuine people enter the site, which means NO fake persons, harassers, or anyone who doesn’t belong to a university. Also, since the system knows what university a student belongs to, posers cannot create multiple accounts in other schools. So, both the originality and the privacy of the users are secured. Pretty sweet, isn’t it ;-)

The member information is supplied entirely by the users themselves. Apart from their profile and contact information, members can create photo albums and interest groups and share them with the rest of their friends and campus. These are often fun and engaging. For example, students have created an academically oriented “Electrical Engineering” group, business students created an “Entrepreneurial Vision” group geared mostly for professional debate, whereas some fun-loving students can create “Metro and Retro sexuals” group just for the fun of it. Groups can be country-wide and Europe-wide as well. This makes a fun way of dialogue!

More functions are coming, but we want to keep the site simple and easy-to-use rather than a chaotic all-in-one web hub.

Actually, the idea of networking university students came from the extremely successful facebook.com example of the United States. Facebook.com is a tool that radically changed the way students interact with each other. Close to 90% of the American college students use the Facebook daily!

We knew, however, that in dealing with a geography as diverse and complex as Europe, one needs to pay attention to the details and nuances between the needs and lifestyles of American and European university students. The end-product was Campusroll.com, a site that develops technologies that make things simpler and more fun, and one which attracts more members everyday!
