Uspot Announces the Next Generation of Social Media Technology for College Students Nationwide7 February 2006
Uspot today announced its social media site providing all of the hottest social media and social networking technologies for college students in one site. Uspot is the most comprehensive social networking and rich media site available on the internet designed specifically for college students. Uspot gives college students the opportunity to create, share and communicate in one location and through common interests such as entertainment, social events and hobbies.
Uspot unites two of the hottest and fastest growing on-line segments today, social networking and social media. It is the first site to offer the unique blend of social networking and rich media sharing technologies that provide college students with unparallel connections and the ability to share all types of rich media and connect in a more meaningful way. These types of connections provide students with richer, more entertaining experiences and provide content creators with the ability to share their talents such as music or films.
"Unlike typical social networking sites that focus on meeting people nationwide, often strangers, The Uspot connects people with common interests and allows them to explore those interests together to build a friendship," said Todd Cohen, Founder and President of The Uspot. "If people have few other interests in common with someone other than being on the same network, well, that's the end of that relationship. On the other hand, common interests tend to deepen, last a long time and lead to other common interests as people explore these interests together."
The Uspot provides the broadest range of rich media options, multi-tiered privacy settings and customized profiles to help college students connect on a much deeper level. The Uspot gives college students the opportunity to create content, share content and communicate with their peers all in one site using a variety of different technologies.
The Uspot includes many features such as:
Creation Features: College students nationwide can create their own customized member profiles, personal blogs, audio and video podcasts and have access to an artist account to share their own independent music and films. Members can upload audio and video files to their artist profile that will even allow them to showcase their college band or feature film worldwide.
Share Features: The user-friendly web portal also allows members to post classifieds and events, invite friends and colleagues to parties and happenings around campus, or utilize electronic calendars/alerts to manage class schedules, lectures, events etc. Additionally, once they create their own blog or podcast, students can share their personal profiles and posted media, such as a favorite college band's latest demo track, alongside photos from last night's party or Saturday's game.
Communication Features: The Uspot takes communication to a new level with features including advanced instant messaging, e-cards, e-mail utilizing text, audio, video, as well as leading edge on-line applications such as advanced photo-sharing, as well as audio and video Podcasting.
"The greatest benefit of providing the myriad of communication technologies to college students is that it gives them a voice to express themselves in a sea of competing voices," Cohen said. "The Uspot is the only social media technology to provide methods for college students to stand out, let their voice and opinions be heard, and become leaders in their community."
Through a free Uspot artist account students who create films, music and videos to allow them to showcase and share their talent and develop fans. Utilizing this technology allows creative students with a mechanism to collaborate on creative works and share those works with their peers. Additionally, students can let their voices be heard by becoming critics, a known resource for campus events or even become a DJ starting their own radio station and allow their peers to subscribe to their podcasts.
Uspot is available immediately free of charge to college students at http://www.uspot.com.
