Have you noticed the lack of online student communities? How you people are even surviving your first years on campus is frankly astonishing. You need books. You need a job. You need a place to live. You need the notes of the people who took them in class.

Normally, finding these things involves scouring the notice boards of various departments (we find engineering generally happens to be unusual fruitful on the place-to-live-front – weird), at which point you’ll find an ad for something you’re looking for, but it will almost certainly be three months old.

By the same token, selling anything is a major pain in the behind. You write the ad. You print the ad. You trek across campus to an admin window to have the ad approved for posting. The window is closed, because departments at universities take turns to be open for half an hour every day. You return the next day, and get the ad certified. You post the ad. The film society glues a massive poster over your ad 20 minutes later.

Everything about that process is as painful and unnecessary as weight lifting.

Diggit has all of that stuff covered, in one place. It’s basically a digital message board with all the good stuff: books, jobs, houses, food, tutors, fun, and so on.

When big daddy Gumtree and little mommy Facebook got together and had a lovechild, they named it Diggit. It’s fast, functional and rather visually interesting. And most importantly (seriously, this is a deal-breaker), you can use Diggit on your smartphone.
