The online network of students celebrated its one-year anniversary with a big change. Let’s Cram, the social networking site created by SBHS senior Mike Lewis last year was relaunched this month to steer users into more one-on-one interaction.
“The site is a lot more personal,” said Karl Sandrich, a member of the Let’s Cram team. “We really emphasize people-to-people communication and we think the additions (to the site) will do that.”
In order to participate in the discussions on the site, Let’s Cram requires new users to create a profile similar to that of social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook.
Each user can find their friends or “study buddies” to quickly ask questions to homework problems.
“We had a lot of people sign up and a lot of people use the site,” said Sandrich. “Now the new site adds on top of what we already had and I feel that kids will enjoy using the site even more.”
When letscram.com was launched at the start of last school year it was heavily promoted as a way for students at SBHS and at other schools to more easily connect to other students with similar homework problems. So far the site has more than 800 registered members from SBHS and other schools.
At SBHS the site gets help from Sandrich, Jimmy Sexton, Brett Silverman, Billy Grokenberger, Camille Fenton and RJ Rotman, among others. Creator Mike Lewis continues to head the site.
Sandrich hopes more Dons use Let’s Cram this year. “I want people from all over SBHS to utilize this site,” he said. “Who knows how much farther it can go.”
