Responding to high error rate, Lists feature temporarily disabled.

Starting about 10 minutes ago, we began experiencing a very high rate of errors and we are working on the underlying problem.

Update (1:30p): We are now recovering from this unexpected downtime. The Lists feature is temporarily unavailable as we diagnose the cause of the outage.

Bummer!  Sure do miss the twitter lists!

collegeblender:

We are happy to announce that CollegeBlender is officially open to the public today! This is technically the continuation of The College Blog Network - we’re still the same team from TCBN, just with a new name and look, and quite a few new features.

CollegeBlender is a place where you can connect with people on your campus and from other colleges around the world. Discover what’s happening on campus and read and share experiences with other people who are stuck on the same tiny island as you for the rest of their academic lives.

We’ll let you discover the cool little things you can do with CollegeBlender, but here are a few of the big new additions:

- All users now have profiles!

- There is a new Talk section that allows you to discuss whatever is on your mind, and see what other people on campus are talking about.

- Blogwire and the Blogs pages are now powered by more complex algorithms to help surface the best and most highly discussed content.

- We have a new url shortener for easier sharing: http://cblend.it - using this to spread your content will help it move up the ranks.

There’s lots more cool stuff to come, but for now check out everything you can do on the new CollegeBlender, Invite your friends, and keep an eye out for what’s next!
