DiveIn and Student Net Announce Partnership

Posted on February 9, 1998

The city-based Web service DiveIn and Student Net Publishing's Student.com have announced an exclusive content partnership that will provide college students in ten major metropolitan areas with a city-specific version of Student.Com, an independent website with original daily content to serve all aspects of college life.

Through this partnership, college students living in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle and the Twin Cities now have available a wide range of local entertainment, information and communications tools tailored to them. Users can participate in online campus discussions with fellow students, or link to their college newspaper to find out about the latest campus events. Or, access DiveIn's comprehensive calendar of events to find out what's happening around town.

Student.com helps students stay connected with each other. Students can find a date through "Yenta, the Matchmaker," one of the site's more popular features or write a letter to Mom by e-mail through Mom-o-Matic, an electronic form letter that can be personalized. Students can also stay in touch with old friends at nearly 500 schools through a network of over 200,000 student homepages.
