New Features to Play With :)

I have been working hard these last two days to make College Being a whole lot better for you guys. Let me go over some of the things I have done so you can congratulate me already.

  • Open registration. For the first time ever at College Being, anyone can register!
  • An RSS feed. Check out the HUGE button on the right! Stay up-to-date without needing to come to collegebeing.com. As an added bonus, if you like just one specific author, you may subscribe to just his or her RSS feed. This is also a first for us. We are RSS virgins.
  • A Tip Us Page so tip us! Feel free to send anything remotely interesting. Even if it does not make it onto the site, it will keep me wake during Psychology of Personality.
  • Pictures of authors in every post, given that the authors have uploaded a picture on their profile. See what the authors look like or notice how similar we look to Brad Pitt.
  • Pictures of registered members when they post in the comments section. “How weird, he also looks extremely like Brad Pitt.”
  • Special formating on the comments to show who is the author of the post.
  • A list of our “Best Users.” Write lots of comments and get a free link from us. Not to brag or anything, but we do have a PR of four! Four! Just remember to post your URL when writing comments.
  • An opt-in mailing list (you can later opt-out as well) with a weekly summary of what is going on at College Being. Get information only on the categories you find interesting.
  • A cache system so that our site can handle all the future submissions to Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.
  • A neat, little archive page so that you can waste a lot of time and look at all our old posts like this one or this one.
  • New theme, though I already mentioned it in this post. All that remains is changing that awful-looking header at the top. Any suggestions?

That’s all.

Love,
Chris

Airline Hires Passengers

Airplane InteriorBritish airline Flybe is paying 172 people to fly between Dublin, Ireland and Norwich, England. Norwich airport made a deal with the airline to give a rebate of 280,000 pounds if the airline could deliver 15,000 passengers on the route within one year. The airline was short some passengers and after the airport would not offer up even a partial rebate, decided to hire passengers in order to meet its goal. “The ludicrousness is on the Norwich side who in essence have tried to hold us to ransom, putting at risk routes into Norwich,” said Flybe Chief Commercial Officer Mike Rutter on Irish public television.
