Playboy Launches Social Network for College Students

Facebook has opened its doors to the general public, prompting students to search for the next student-only social network. After all, who wants parents judging you from a silly Facebook profile or sending you friends request. Playboy is taking advantage of this by launching a sexy social network exclusively for college students with an .edu email address—and they're very serious about their student-only policy too. Faculty members, staff, and non-students will be booted off Playboy U if discovered.

Becoming a member is by invitation-only, but once accepted, members have access to university-specific pages that list campus events, member's profiles, and exclusive Playboy content such as pictures from previous Playboy mansion parties, and sexy message threads that ask questions like "How Many People Have You Slept With? To Lie or Not to Lie." Nudity is barred, but that hasn't stopped 2,000 members from 500 colleges from joining.

What do you think? Will Playboy make it in the social networking space?
