Coolviet Network - A Social Network for US Vietnamese Students


Coolviet Network started a month ago. No one has heard of that social network until I heard from my friend, Mai.
First of all, the website looks very trendy and it is not as plain as Facebook. I can tell that the designer did a pretty good job! As of today, there are almost 1,500 members and the website is growing up exponentially.
All the members are Vietnamese college students from a large number of US colleges. You'll find Vietnamese students from UCLA, UC Berkeley, University of Memphis, to Harvard University and Princeton. It is the most impressive social network for Vietnamese students so far if Facebook is excluded (I'll talk about this more later).

A lot of applications are present, such as videos, photo album, news feeders, music, news, games, and so on. The most interesting thing is that there is no network restriction even though you belong to your school network (as opposed to Facebook).
It is much easier to make friends and connection, which was not the case on Facebook since it is more network oriented that friendship oriented.

We want to wish good luck to CoolViet Network and we hope it will give the opportunity to American Vietnamese to unify.
