Hey Gstar - essentially, Digidorm is a tremendous blogging system. But members don't just comment - they create the content - kind of like Allvoices, which, along with Digg and Technorati, were models for the function of Digidorm.

The University List is HOPEFULLY the first clue to visitors that the site drills down to many individual universities.

"Hmmmm" on the video not communicating the sites intention. Perhaps you have some advice on how to amplify my efforts to communicate that?

And I think - professionally and personally - that FB has bascially become Twitter Jr. I don't think the groups satisfy the need of both the community members (students, faculty, parents, advisors) to be forthcoming about their real experiences (one big reason is anonymity, which Digidorm provides) and the universities to engage in well-archived citizen-journalism about the university.

Does that make sense? I'd enjoy answering any more queries/critiques.

It might be worth making those about/university/help links under your logo significantly bigger - I missed them on first view.

You don't get much attention time on the web, get in there -fast- .. a 10-15 second video is probably much more appropriate for an intro.

unreal. I had same experience and comments. -thought it was a blog (because it is) - didn't get it - watch the video for half a minute - bailed

To jamesvisto, I don't mean to to be negative. I just think you need real feedback. good luck with it!

I agree. It looks kinda messy and confusing.

Oh and thanks for the logo compliment. I actually had the font custom created.
