Social networking site - Mystudymates.com?

I need advice from Yahoo answers community. I am thinking of launching this site called Mystudymates.com.





I think students, teenagers especially waste don't gain so much from sites like myspace, friendster, bebo etc. I will like your opinion about a site where students can find study mates with the same goals and vision and help one another out. Your thoughts are appreciated.

I think it's a great idea! And will work to some extent. But you have to remember, even though the intentions are for school, it may turn into another social area. Also, some kids would be afraid to get an account because they would be worried about what their peers thought of them. They might feel nerdy. But I think if you are sure it'll work GO FOR IT!!! :)

See these kids are on sites like myspace out of choice (or because it's the trendy thing to do)





If they were looking to find study mates, i think their classmates would be the first place to look.





Your site would probably attract the 'cool' jocks and airheads that want a 'nerd' to 'help' them do the homework for them. They'll end up plagiarizing MASSIVELY.





I'm only worried you'll be losing alot of money investing in such a website.





It's a great idea, don't get me wrong. But would it work? I strongly doubt it!
