<p>What do you guys think of these sites / applications?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.Z-inch.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.Z-inch.com&lt;/a> (take out the dash... it blocks it with the dash)
<a href="http://apps.facebook.com/collegetoolkit%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apps.facebook.com/collegetoolkit&lt;/a> (new Facebook app)
<a href="http://www.usphere.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usphere.com/&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.connectedu.net/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.connectedu.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Have you used any of these?
What do you think?</p>

<p>Z-inch seems to have gotten a lot of press, but what do you do after you post your profile? Wait around for a college to contact you? What else can you do?</p>

<p>The College Toolkit Facebook app seems like it might be interesting. I already have a Facebook profile so I can interact with my friends. However, it looks like they are just getting started.</p>

<p>ConnectEdu looks like it requires your high school to be signed up.</p>

<p>STILL all of these websites are so ultra professional…every student from Harvard to community college needs something more personal, with the blunt truth about college and the candid honesty necessary about the entire applications process. enough of these websites with generic information like Leadership and etc. we need a source that takes the idea of leadership and transforms it into what it actually means to college and what it means to us students. the same goes for all other categories as well. ***** was close, but no cigar</p>
