The College Blog Network


The College Blog Network connects college student, alumni, and faculty blogs from colleges around the world. TCBN is a central hub for college bloggers covering any topic, and serves as an easy way to keep a pulse on the topics and events people are talking about at your school.

TheCollegeBlogNetwork.com is the web's first open community of college bloggers. TBCN's the first site to aggregate college blogs exclusively, organizing them by state, school, and promoting them via RSS feeds, widgets, and the site's own bump/dump user-controlled rating system. While anyone can browse TCBN content and sign up for RSS feeds, only registered users with a valid .edu address can join the site to post comments, rate blogs, and share their own blog. As blogs continue to influence mainstream discussion, TCBN serves as home of the college blogosphere.

Founded in November 2007 by Spencer March (Applied Arts & Sciences, Entrepreneurship Minor ‘08) and Dan Wasyluk (New Media Interactive Development.)

We currently have a content partnership with the Democrat and Chronicle, publishing student blog posts on their regional website targeted to area colleges, RocLoop.com. RIT’s Reporter Magazine website also uses our RSS feed of RIT bloggers. Just recently, we won a competition on investment website www.Vator.tv for a business bootcamp and a chance to obtain venture capital funding. Over the summer, we will be relaunching the site with a new design and more interactive features.
