AskStudent goes Social. Addition of a user driven Content Section

After days of finetuning, AskStudent has added a Social Networking Section today. This addition was made after we had established a solid ground in terms of a loyal base of atleast 1000 unique visitors every day.

What is the AskStudent Community Section?

AskStudent’s Community is based on a platform similar to the # 1 social networking site on the Internet : Digg. 

AskStudent Community Section is all about user powered content. Everything is submitted and voted on by the AskStudent community (that would be you). Share, discover, bookmark, and promote stuff that’s important to you!

After you submit content, other people read your submission and vote on what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough votes, it is promoted to the front page for thousands of visitors to see.

What can you do as a loyal AskStudent user? Lots. Every person can help promote, bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories. The AskStudent Community section also allows you to track your friends’ activity throughout the site — want to share a video or news story with a friend? well… you can do it now!

WoW, I am loving this. How do I access the community section on AskStudent?
