The Tell-All Campus Tour

Well, my YouTube-loving friend, the NY Times reports that old-school elephantine dead-tree college guidebooks may be a thing of the past thanks to startup unigo.com, which has launched a free, gigantic, student-generated web-based guide to North American colleges that's laden with photos, Flip-shot videos and reviews (OK, you may have to do some reading)."

    Their website has gone up in smoke. I hope nobody was trying to get campus information from them today.

      So, maybe dead trees have there uses after all. They wouldn't 'go up in smoke', wood they?

      The website is working, but it's not answering my most-important concern... the question that could ultimately sink-or-swim my future educational choice:

      - Which school has the most coeds wearing nothing but bikinis?

      I imagine it's someplace like Hawaii or Miami, but some independent verification (with photos) would be nice.
