What is the use of kiosks in the School community

For most of us in college or those who are in High school and we know those large Noticeboards in the school corridor full of notices. Every time we take a peek at them we see so many things displayed on them such as looking for a tutor or paid surveys as well as common school news like join a certain club. At times it gets dizzy to peak at all the ads posted on their altogether as most of the times it appears as a mess.
Walking around campus, you will easily realize that most of these kiosks filled up with all these ads are never looked at, especially by the college kids. They just walk pass it, before you see someone looking at it, you must be on a lucky date. Even those who take a peek at the ads always take a glance of probably 5 seconds not giving the time to look at the ads on the kiosks.
This just gives the impression that kiosks are easily becoming useless to the school students for posting up events, ads, services or things for sale. Those who post up their ads waste money to post it and those ads never get looked at and are soon torn down or someone directly post something over your ad.
Recently, an ASU student created a website called AnnounceSchool, to attempt to solve this problem. Noticing that most of the things that were in school were being missed out due to the fact that people never read these ads, he created the website to allow students to post their ads instead on the website for free to make much more people to look at it without the need to walk around. The website is very easy to use and it really helps. People ads are read more and are not torn down. Students can post up their services, books for sale, housing, events, club activities, parties and much more for the other students to see. The website is really a great tool for students and looks like a major student accessory for the forthcoming academic year.
