...what features would you like it to have? use your imagination.so far, i've got:

Faculty phone book
9/2/2009 2:55:26 AM
what if there happened to be a TWW Radio...yea, directory search could be usefulathletic calendars or something that had all the events on it[Edited on September 2, 2009 at 2:56 AM. Reason : .]
9/2/2009 2:55:33 AM
^hence the disclaimer. i have a feeling that if i ever put tww radio back up, only 4-5 people would ever listen.]
9/2/2009 2:56:25 AM
I was just kidding...I know that was a bunch of work/not really worth it
9/2/2009 2:57:48 AM
i figured as much. it's 3am, i'm tired, haha.based solely on the sheer quantity of iphones/ipod touches i see on campus, i could see something like this being fairly useful.]

The Wolfline thing would be pretty kickass, especially if it were like the buses in Seattle where you can watch the bus move along its route on the map.How about one that alerts you when one of the study rooms in the stacks is empty
9/2/2009 3:01:41 AM
hahaha, that could prove to be a bit difficult based on actual occupancy. it would be easy, however, to pull from this:http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/roomreservations/schedule.php?date=09-02-2009&scheduleid=sc146bb7ad6c7e1fto tell you when blocks are open... could even have a scheduling component.
9/2/2009 3:06:17 AM
What about books necessary for certain classes? Just reserve a copy and buy it when you get there.
9/2/2009 3:16:09 AM
people still buy books at the bookstore? wow
9/2/2009 3:17:35 AM
I always bought them at the bookstore because I was too lazy to look for them online. This also assumed I bought the book in the first place and didn't bum it off a friend.Yeah a scheduling thing for the stacks would be pretty sweet.
9/2/2009 3:27:16 AM
a copy of "The Technician"
9/2/2009 4:05:26 AM
A ticket lottery app would be cool.
9/2/2009 4:15:35 AM
ticket lottery would open up a whole other can of worms... i'm not gonna go near that one technician is a pretty good idea... would be fairly easy considering they provide an RSS feed...]

go to sleep evan
9/2/2009 5:52:51 AM
it got to be 3am, i'm going to work at 7 so i just said "fuck it" and stayed up all night.[Edited on September 2, 2009 at 5:55 AM. Reason : it's amazing how much more work you get done when you come in super early]
9/2/2009 5:55:30 AM
campus mapyes. i am a senior and I still don't know where all the fucking buildings are. don't judge me.

there better be a mobile-friendly version of TWW on there as well
9/2/2009 8:00:39 AM
9/2/2009 8:01:51 AM
TWW radio streamed through the NCSU iPhone app?along with mobile-friendly TWW browser. That'd be the key right there to get new users

search professor salaries.
9/2/2009 8:08:41 AM
^^this is why we can't have nice things.you guys don't think TWW works ok in mobile safari as is?grade distribution: i'm not sure if many people would want to use their phone to actually register/look for classes to register in. i was mainly going for quick changes, like dropping a class or changing to credit/audit, etc.textbook exchange: again, this seems a bit tedious on a phone although i think it could be useful to have something that tells you the required/optional books for all the classes on your schedule and maybe a quick price lookup on amazon/half.com to see if you're getting screwed (yes) at the bookstore...the risk thing: oh lawd, that would take a lot of work.events schedule: could work if there is some place that already aggregates these events into a page or something.professor salaries: easy to do, but i don't think it would get used enough to justify its inclusion/i think a few professors would be a bit ticked off.]

if there happened to be an NCSU iphone app... It would come in with great fanfare but sorely disappoint during basketball season.
9/2/2009 8:59:35 AM
^^i just have a feeling that someone from gopack.com would have a problem with that
