Playboy Enterprises Inc. is jumping on the Facebook bandwagon. Playboy recently launched a new social networking site called Playboy U.
Touted as an “exclusive college-only non-nude” site, Playboy U is like Facebook, only before it allowed everybody and their mothers to join. It requires your .edu e-mail address for an invite to the site and a sexy picture of you or your blonde girlfriend. OK, maybe not the latter, but it does sound rather elitist.
The site shows various good-looking and party-type co-eds under the tag “Join our student body.” The Wired Campus thinks that’s kinda lame, and we agree. Rather, they suggest:
bq. Facebook with foldouts.
bq. I only read it for the networking.
bq. MySpace or yours?
We like that last one, as well as a reader’s contribution. Reader Joe suggests: “Where getting poked really means something.” We can dig it.
What do you think? What’s a better tagline for the site? And, more importantly, WTF?
