Scoop was launched with the motive of creating a common platform for students of IIITA to share any piece of information, news, articles, trending topics, story, facts, anything within the IIITA Community.
Scoop, the official sharing platform for IIITA, was officially launched on 6th September, 2011. Actually it was introduced onstage on 12th August 2011, Foundation Day, but due to some technical issues the launch got delayed. But everything aside, the site is finally up and running.
Talking about the feedback, people loved the concept of being able to share information, news pieces, articles, events with the IIITA Community. It gave a platform for people to broadcast any useful or interesting scoop to everyone which was not feasible from our current mailing system.
I wouldn’t like to reveal much about Scoop as it is very much restricted to the IIITA Community only. But here is a screenshot of the front-page.
Complete Release Note:
Scoop was launched with the motive of creating a common platform for students of IIITA to share any piece of information, news, articles, trending topics, story, facts, anything within the IIITA Community.
Sending mails to everyone to share small pieces of information can be pointless and it generally never yields the desired result. This is where Scoop steps in. If you want people to read an interesting article? Or if you want people to know about the amazing idea you just thought of? Or quickly inform people about a certain informal event in the campus? Or just share a quote you read? Or share the awesome hack you just learned? Or just anything.. Scoop is the platform for you.
Scoop was built to bring a change in the way we share and circulate information in IIITA.
It certainly wouldn’t be useful if the IIITA community aren’t directly involved in it. So, I would like to encourage people to share anything you find useful in Scoop. It is a request to all the Clubs to post about their events and other announcements here in Scoop.
We are thinking of handing over selected Scoop accounts like Technology News, Bollywood News, Quotes, Technology Hacks etc to groups of student so that they can share information regularly. So, I would like to invite interested students to join Scoop to make it a better platform to share knowledge. We will provide you with the credentials to all those accounts so that you can manage them in an effective manner. Remember, it is for the community.
It would be great if other developers can directly contribute in building the next version of Scoop. So, I would like to invite interested students to come and help in making Scoop better and more powerful. I cannot guarantee any kind of accolade but I can promise plenty of knowledge and experience on the way. You’ll be a part of actually building “something” for IIITA.
Lastly, I would again like to encourage all the students to share at Scoop and make IIITA a more knowledgeable community.

By the way, first ever scoop:
Lastly, Scoop is a small initiative from myself that I believe will change the way student share and circulate information in IIITA. I would also like to add that Scoop will be further developed adding more useful features in near future.
