omg programmers look at this!!!

Basically, a bunch of cs people from my school did this amazing site for programmers.

http://fudge.fit.edu/

Is a site that has 2 purposes. Give programming algoritmic problems and provide all the benefits of a social network like myspace or facebook. Is really the first time somebody has pulled this out. Also check out the problems they have, are really hardcore!! so give it a try! im pretty sure you cs guys will enjoy this!!

There are a few interesting problems, but some are a mundane as calculate the gpa based on an obnoxious amount of command line input. In order to function as a social networking site it needs a lot more user to user interaction. Message boards hardly count as social networking anymore. And as far as the number and scope of problems go, it reminds me of a startup version of project euler (http://projecteuler.net/). It has potential, but I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet.

hes attempting to misrepresent this website. telling us that its great for cs guys (its data processing at its finest. not really much fun.), that its the first of its kinda (which i directly quoted for justice), and that its some sort of social networking site like facebook (read: you can see other usernames)

ill stick to my guns, thanks.
