Four NYU (New York University) students are out to build a Facebook alternative. With recent and continued negatives happening with Facebook in terms of privacy, they are out to create a social network that allows you to be in control of your social network. What’s interesting is how much of an impact college students are making.  Being a current college student at Iowa State University, I’m seeing more and more students starting new startups and trying to [...]
