Looking for College Gossip? JuicyCampus Has It

New website JuicyCampus lets you gossip (in a very bad way) about your classmates completely anonymously. The goal, according to their “about” page, is “enabling online anonymous free speech on college campuses.” Some examples of posts include discussions about the sluttiest girls at Cornell University, the hottest people on campus, and the reputations of various fraternities and sororities.

While it’s been a hit and a success for juice on your classmates, it’s got some negative press as well. At Cornell University specifically, there’s a lot of backlash. BusinessWeek explains that a Cornell student saw negative comments about sexual exploits — and is now worried about getting a job.

Interestingly, while college is all about free speech, students don’t want JuicyCampus near their campuses. The article goes on to say:

“In campus debates over Internet freedom, students normally take the side of openness and access. This time, however, student leaders, newspaper editorials and posters on the site are fighting back — with some even asking administrators to ban JuicyCampus. It’s a kind of plea to save the students, or at least their reputations, from themselves.”
