The internet is loud. Your campus doesn't have to be. Hearsay is the hyperlocal social network exclusively for college students. If you're not physically on campus, you can't see what's happening. If you don't have a .edu email, you can't get in. HOW IT WORKS • Verify with your school email—no randoms, no bots, no parents • Set your radius: classroom, building, or 1-mile campus zone • See real-time posts only from verified students within that radius • Miss nothing: free food drops, cancelled classes, study groups forming, campus events REAL TIME. REAL LIFE. Hearsay isn't another feed of polished posts from people you'll never meet. It's the raw, unfiltered pulse of what's happening around you right now. • "Prof just cancelled Econ 101" • "Free pizza at student union, 5 mins left" • "Anyone else bombing this midterm?" • "Lost my wallet in Library 3F, pls help" This is campus life as it actually happens—not as it's performed for likes. NO ALGORITHMS. NO NOISE. • No influencer content • No ads (yet—we're in beta) • No global feed of strangers • No curated highlights • Just verified students, sorted by distance If it's not happening near you, you won't see it. If you're not a student, you can't join. STUDENT-VERIFIED ONLY Your .edu email is your ticket in. This keeps Hearsay safe, relevant, and hyper-focused on the people who actually share your physical space. BETA ACCESS Hearsay is currently in beta testing at select universities. Join the waitlist to bring it to your campus. Real life is trending. Log off. Tune in.
