Kayvon Beykpour and Aaron Wasserman, second-years at Stanford, have launched an iphone application called iStanford. This app allows students to access campus maps, the course catalog, email, and varsity sports news. With the newest version, students can even access their academic and financial accounts and track down the campus shuttle bus, thanks to its integration with the university’s central administration system.
It’s no surprise that students, alumni, and visitors have gobbled up iStanford, with 11,000 downloads to date. Rumour has it the app has won the favour of Steve Jobs himself, after seeing an iStanford ad during the homecoming game.
After their brainchildtook off, Keykpour and Bernstein launched a start-up called TerriblyClever—which, according to Time magazine, could challenge even that behemoth of social networking, Facebook.
