The Internet2 K20 Initiative yesterday announced a new social networking site for the 50,000 primary and secondary schools, community colleges, libraries, and museums connected to the Internet2 backbone network.
The site, Muse, was developed by student Web programmers at the University of Washington for Internet2, an advanced computing consortium of colleges and businesses. Five regional Muse sites have also been set up, according to a press release.
Muse users can visit the site to learn how others are using Internet2-enabled technologies. Members can learn more about Muse at the Internet2 K20 Initiative Meeting on Monday, April 21, 2008. —Catherine Rampell
