There is plenty that makes ProgressiveU different from social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, and MyYahoo. Here are just a few reasons:
On ProU you're more then a face (in a book). We're not a social networking site, we're a blogging community.
We value our members for their writing, knowledge, and contributions to the ProU community, not how hot they are, how many "friends" they have, or what extras they add to their profiles.
Think, Speak Up, Reach Out. Our motto says "Think" first because we want our bloggers to have thoughtful, intelligent discussions and debates. We also want you to "Speak Up" about the issues that are important to you, and to "Reach Out" to your community and the world.
People from all over the world will read what you write, and you may even have articles indexed on Google News (you won't get that out of a page on Myspace!).
We value learning. The Progressive U community seeks to support those in college and planning to go to college, by providing scholarships to our most active bloggers, and encouraging discussion on issues related to higher education.
Want to socialize? Check us out on Facebook [1], Myspace [2], and Bebo [3], or email your favorite social networking site to network[at]progressiveu.org.
