Two students at Princeton University are hoping to give Mark Zuckerberg a run for his money. In 2013, Vaidhy Murti and Michael Pinsky started an app called Friendsy for college students only.

They say the goal is to go back to the roots of what made Facebook successful when it was launched 11 years ago in a dorm room in Harvard.

The key features: you have to have a ".edu" email address to join; you can match up with people for "friendship," "hook-up" or "date," and is available at more than 143 schools and has 65,000 users.
