College news in ‘three clicks or less’ — from College Inc.
“A web site under development promises to deliver a news feed on 200 of the world’s top colleges in three clicks or less. The site is called Aca*medes, a contraction of the words academe and the mathematician Archimedes. The idea is quick access to news on selective colleges. Go to the site. Click. Pick a drop-down menu. Click. Choose from a list of top public or private universities or liberal arts schools, chosen based on collegiate rankings. Click. Choose any of three news sources: official campus news, the independent campus newspaper, or an aggregation of stories from the mainstream media. Click. Three clicks. Or four.”
