Abstract

See full text

A social media and social networking system may be accessible on Internet and mobile devices. Users in the social media and social networking system may create public and private profiles, exchange photos, and invite individuals with specific public or private personalities to join groups and networks including college networks. College students who are currently enrolled or who are alumni of an educational institution have e-mail addresses that have a common post fix of .edu. The social networking site may foster social interaction between college students. College students may register with their real e-mail address ending with a post fix of .edu. The email address defines the individual as a current registered student at a particular educational institution and generally enables the user to be authenticated as belonging to the college group. The ability to view profiles of members may be enabled to a degree of connectivity.
