Students and moms are the exact focus group for this app. We decided to support Windows Phone for couple of reasons.
- Prevalence of Windows Phones. Dont laugh but I am in Seattle and with tons of Microsoft employees most of our beta user base had them.
- Android dev cost. Between screen resolutions, ramp up on environment etc I decided on punting this for now. We are planning on outsourcing this app to a vendor (the API's and UX would be very comparable to iPhone so that part is covered)
Since you are a student, would you mind if I contacted you for testing this among your friends? When you say a group exists, does that mean a groups outside of facebook?

Sorry for the late response! I don't really sell anything among my friends, but I may be able to find some beta testers!
And the student groups link: http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/facebook-refocuses...
Sorry for the crappy article, it's what Google brought up!
That being said, I don't think the concept is as bad as others are making it out to be. As a college student, I know TONS of people who sell everything from textbooks to notes (might be a good pivot). Problem is, with the introduction of groups for universities, we have preset groups for stuff like this.
One thing I am worried about is a potential spam to groups that I'm in, which would only make me resent your project.
Good luck!
