But…I guess we are seeing what some of the world is like. Hostile, angry, childish people–were they already there–is the world getting worse, or has the internet just made them visible?

Hi Girls,

I’m currently a student at Duke and just came across your article and wanted to make a little correction. Chelsea Gorman was NOT a Duke Undergraduate (she went to Vanderbilt, actually) but the site was founded by Matt Ivester, who IS a Duke Alum. Just thought I’d let you know! :)

I am torn between my need to boycott such stupidity and my desperate want to see if my school is on there.. Not that my name would be there, I’m external :)

I have facebook and myspace and twitter and a blog, so Im fairly active on the ‘social’ side of the internet, but I always re-read anything I write and think ‘would I let my mum read this? Would I let my future lover/boss/children read that?’ It’s a good censor, imagining that what you write online could be read by your kids in future years.

Yeah I’m not gonna lie, it’s really creepy seeing my name on that site. Here’s hoping it’s the last time?

wow i hadn’t heard of juicy campus until now. it sounds like a total pathetic way to get cyber attention! i’ve had so many issues with social networking sites. i prefer to find people in the web through the blogosphere. i deleted my myspace after it caused me sooo much drama and stupid cyberfights, ugh! i’ve been dying to delete my facebook, but some people only communicate via facebook – so it’s difficult…

good post!
and as for that guy who wants to have sex with you – that is REALLY creepy and i hope you don’t find anything nasty about you on the site!!!

Urgh. That is very creepy. I read their FAQ, too, and it made me squirm. Posting someone’s full name is okay, and they won’t pull it even if requested? That’s not right.

I, too, read through the comments left by people at my school, and they were very boring. Then again, if I’d found my name, I probably wouldn’t feel that way. What a bunch of crap.

Oh gawd, that site is awful. I wanna say it got some spotlight on Current TV. It was, of course, portrayed negatively as it should be and not praised.
For my school, one of the posts asks, “Let’s hear who on campus has HIV/AIDS”

I’m kind of surprised though; I go to a pretty big university, and there aren’t too many pages. Also, I was surprised I recognized a name of a gal deemed one of the “Biggest Sluts on Campus”.
Mostly, it seems to be plagued with sorority/fraternity gossip.

I don’t know how Juicy Campus could be considered “networking”.
Ugh.
