As we all know, Facebook is one of the most used websites now-a-days. It connects people from all around the world making it possible for them to communicate and share pictures and videos as well. But since the issue of “Draw the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)” day, other social networks became more in use as more than half of the Muslims on Facebook boycott it.
Collegiate Nation, another social network on-line is also used as an alternative to interact with others. Having almost the same features as Facebook (F.B. in short), Collegiate Nation also provides the facility to send & receive messages and chat on-line.
One has to make a profile to log in and add friends to their list. You can view your friends profile and pictures and upload your own too. BUT the major drawback is that it’s open to college students only because until you have an ‘edu’ address, you cannot make an account on Collegiate Nation. This means that it’s only limited to bond the world of college students.
Facebook on the other hand, is ajar to everyone aged 18 and above, whether studying or not. So here lies the real question: Can it replace Facebook? I think yes it can, given its privacy policy. The privacy policy of Collegiate Nation is much better than that of Facebook and that is what will work in its favor. We will have to wait and see!

Lol its stupidity to even think of it! Facebook is just too big to compete against.
Collegiate Nation is very close to launching a sister site called UmeNow. It will be open to everyone. If you go to UmeNow.com you can sign up for a pre-launch invite. And the founder of Collegiate Nation and UmeNow is not on some ego trip like Zuckerberg. Their goal is to provide a platform for people who care about controlling what belongs to them. If you don't care about privacy or keeping total ownership and control of your data and stuff, just stay with FB. They know how to make your info work for them real good.
Yes I agree with you. If Collegiate Nation people are motivated enough, I guess they can over power facebook. The privacy issue of facebook is really a big issue right now and am amazed why some people are still not bothered about it.
