End of week 1 – thecollegestuff goes nowhere
It’s been a week since I put thecollegestuff.com up. There has been one registered user apart from me (ouch!). I think there are many reasons for it. I am just brainstorming here for myself. Feel free to add anything I have left out.
Let’s see what I can do to fix each of them
Point 1: I will work on adding the features in my todo list.
Point 2: Anyone out there who can clean up the interface a little bit? Leave a comment if you are interested!
Point 3: This is a chicken and egg problem. Users will be motivated if there is content. But they are the ones who will have to add content. So, I don’t know what to do here.
Point 4: I will start bugging my friends to use the site and spread the word and will look up online for some marketing techniques 
That is the 3 point formula to win! I am sure I will laugh at myself looking back at this post sometime in the future. heh .. who cares. This is fun for now! The feelinig of starting a website is amazing even if it is crappy!
That is all for now. Have a good week ahead!
Cheers,
Mahesh
Hi,
I had made a website similar to this as a part of my curriculum.
Some features that I can think of for you website are:
• Online application filling for admissions for which you would need to coordinate with the colleges
• Providing details about the college which would include all details like which prof teaches what and their respective rating
• Rating between colleges
• Conversion ratio of number of student appearing and making into IITs
• Ex-students comments and ratings
• Position of ex-students in career and what helped them achieve that
Just some I could think randomly of.
Cheers
