같은 학교 사람들만 있는 익명 공간. 학교 이메일로 인증하면 우리 캠퍼스의 대나무숲이 열립니다. 미국 대학에 다니는 한국 유학생들을 위한 디지털 캠퍼스, Bamboo입니다. ■ 또 하나의 SNS가 아닙니다 정보는 여기저기 흩어져 있고, 중요한 이야기는 단체 채팅방에 묻혀 사라집니다. 새로 온 학생은 무엇을 믿어야 할지 알기 어렵습니다. Bamboo는 학교마다 하나씩, 우리 학교 사람들만 모이는 공간을 만듭니다. 팔로워도, 좋아요 경쟁도, 남에게 보여주기 위한 프로필도 없습니다. 필요한 건 학교 이메일 하나입니다. ■ 이런 것들을 할 수 있어요 · 우리 학교 익명 피드 — 같은 학교 학생만 읽고 쓸 수 있어요 · 익명 글쓰기 — 사진과 링크도 함께 · 댓글과 답글 — 이름 없이 오가는 대화 · 밸런스 게임 — 가볍게 고르고 결과를 함께 봐요 · 전체 라운지 — 매주 모든 캠퍼스가 함께 답하는 질문 · 인기글 — 이번 주 우리 학교에서 가장 많은 반응을 받은 이야기 · 하루 기록 — 나만 볼 수 있는 비공개 기록 · 동아리 소식 — 우리 학교 동아리의 공지와 모집 ■ 안심하고 쓰세요 · 학교 이메일 인증을 마친 학생만 들어올 수 있습니다 · 글에 이름이 남지 않습니다 · 불쾌한 글은 신고하면 검토 후 조치됩니다 · 보고 싶지 않은 사람은 차단할 수 있습니다 · 커뮤니티 가이드라인을 어기면 이용이 제한됩니다 ■ 지금 열려 있는 학교 University of Michigan · New York University · Purdue University · UCLA · University of Wisconsin–Madison . University of Southern California 학교는 계속 늘어납니다. 우리 학교가 아직 없다면 조금만 기다려주세요. ■ 이런 이야기를 나눠요 수업과 교수님, 기숙사와 집 구하기, 인턴과 취업, 향수병과 외로움, 맛집과 주말 계획, 그리고 그동안 아무에게도 못 했던 말. 기술은 사람을 대신하는 것이 아니라, 사람과 사람을 더 가깝게 이어야 한다고 믿습니다. 혼자 견디지 않아도 됩니다. 같은 자리를 지나온 사람들이 여기 있습니다.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bamboo at none against MyTypes's 10. Bamboo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MyTypes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
