Former Arizona Diamondback Luis Gonzalez and partner Anthony Conti, a “digital executive,” have launched IsTalking, a Phoenix-based company that develops new social networking Web sites exclusively for college students.
The business partners just debuted ASUIsTalking.com, its flagship site, for those who have an Arizona State University e-mail address.
Gonzalez, who currently plays for the Florida Marlins, still calls the Valley home and chose ASU as the pilot school.
IsTalking also partnered with the Tempe university’s alumni association to launch ASUAlumniIsTalking.com, which aims to keep the university’s grads connected.
The IsTalking sites will allow students to communicate with other students, find common interests and develop relationships, the company claims.
On ASUIsTalking.com, students can create a profile, post pictures and videos, lounge in the “social lobby,” join common interest groups and learn about upcoming events.
