but considering it never fails to mention rowing to the outside world, we can't really complain!

I have a feeling they will be portrayed with the same stereotypes of rowing and the ivy league (silver spoon jocks) that the media has already pushed onto them. Which is too bad, because if they were public university students, first generation graduates - journalists would portray them as the heros in the story.

If Bill Gates was discovered to record passwords in his online program, and used the info to troll a variety of journalists' email, breaking into two...who were asking him hard questions...it would be a HUGE story and the privacy issues would rage all over the internet.

i think there already is one.... or more...

we-row.com
www.rowing-network.com

Row2k has a version

Honestly, specific social network sites are pretty much all destined to failure as long as Facebook stays broad.

row2k does have a version, but I always felt that between here, and Facebook, there isn't much point in joining. The membership is just so high, on other non-niche sites. I just don't see Facebook going away overnight either
let them hate as long as they fear.
