<p>For those of you who don't already know of this resource, there's a hugely active LiveJournal community devoted to UC Berkeley, at: <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ucberkeley/%5B/url%5D">http://community.livejournal.com/ucberkeley/</a></p>
<p>Though it won't be a great help for admissions questions (CC is a much more effective and appropriate tool for that), from the LiveJournal you can get very helpful, quick responses to various questions you might have that are related to living/studying at Berkeley. There is also a greater preponderance of current Berkeley students on the LJ, if that is where your questions are geared. Take a look!</p>
<p>Great topic -- I often direct people to the LJ, but never thought to make a thread out of it. Perhaps this'll help to get rid of a lot of the repetitive questions here.</p>
<p>there is also a new site trying to get started called spigitu which uses a special system to qualify the posts people make AND it has social networking so its not as anonymous as lj or cc...what do you guys think about it?</p>
<p>LJ is far from anonymous -- hell, the site is comprised people's personal journals. Far from anonymous (not to mention everyone has a profile, can add friends, can comment on posts, can add posts to memories, etc. -- so it's basically social networking).</p>
