yendiSo, LJ now has a Schools feature, allowing you to list where you went to high school and college (and making Classmates.com even more pointless than it had always been).
But it's got issues.
For one, there's the list of New York City, New York schools, and the list of New York, New York schools.
Then there's the fact that, if you click on the former link, you'll see "Barnard College" and "Barnard College, Columbia University." You'll also find "City University of New York Hunter College," "Hunter College," and "Hunter College of the City University of New York." All pointing to separate lists.
That said, you won't find my high school, because schools are added by approval, so I had to fill out a form listing my school name, and when someone has verified that it's a real school and not already on the list, they'll add it.
Um, yeah.
Still, a nifty idea, if and when they actually implement it well.
(And yes, I've filed support requests).

Date: 2005-09-23 12:31 pm (UTC)I can kind of understand Hunter getting all messed up (I'm sure the multiple listings for Hunter College High School didn't help, either), but I was a bit surprised that they dropped the ball with Barnard (which isn't exactly unknown, y'know?).

Date: 2005-09-23 12:30 pm (UTC)I'll have to do that, too.
But I'm now doubly pissed that they never added my legit school, while clearly adding anything else that was submitted.
