The goal of the AWS Service providers program is to nurture a growing community of independent companies offering business solutions based on AWS. The database of members (which includes ED) provides clients seeking solutions with a range of reliable and experienced developers, all endorsed by AWS.

Recently EtonDigital has seen the launch of a number of high-profile projects constructed using AWS tools, such as StoryVault (which has featured across national press), StudentBOX, Eezeer, Rokpool, and AnaIvanovic.com it is work such as this that is helping to build our reputation as a highly-regarded partner of AWS and leading solution provider.

We'd like to say a massive thankyou to all the EtonDigital staff, those over at AWS, and, of course, our clients - who've all worked hard to make this happen. For more info on the AWS solution providers program visit the AWS main page, where you can also find a comprehensive list of the inaugural founding members.

First of all - this network is exclusively for students. Which means that all its services are highly specialised for the needs of this particular user group. Facebook et al are great for general socialising, communication and fun but don't cover student life in any specific depth. That's where StudentBox comes in - a place where you can keep up to date with exactly what's going on at your university or college, check out exclusive offers for nights out or jobs and share course materials for example.

Events - StudentBOX aims to offer the most comprehensive resource on events for students across the country. From foam parties to ale tastings, and everything in between, StudentBOX is the quickest way to check your options for nights out and great social events.

Photos - After all those nights out and parties it's nice to share the memories with all you friends, which is why StudentBOX allows you to upload unlimited photos and videos to your profile.

Full user profiles - Enjoy creating your own unique user profile with all the range of options you have come to expect from a top-class social network, including profile images, contact details, as much or as little personal info as you like.

The best thing about studentBOX is that it is a specialised network catering exclusively for students, meaning every service is geared towards the needs of the student user. Joining the network is, of course, free - and the best thing is that, through the promotions and special offers listed on 'the BOX', users can discover great deals for the student budget.

The man behind studentBOX is Carl Pihl, an internet entrepreneur who recently took part in BBC 3's hit tv show 'The Last Millionaire'.  The show has  now ended its first season, but you can watch the entire run and learn more about Carl's passion for the studentBOX project at the BBC 3 homepage.

StudentBOX has been built by EtonDigital on the symfony framework and is evolving all the time. Look out for future features such as a jobs board, university-specific sub groups and event ticket sales and special offers. We'll keep posted; but in the meanwhile why not 'get in the Box' and check it out for yourself!

EtonDigital's design features a WordPress CMS, as well as CSS design and XHTML. This initial launch marks the first step in a programme of work to launch a range of exciting new featureson StudentBOX.com - so keep an eye out for future developments!

Whether you're a student seeking a social networking platform to keep in touch with friends (or meet new ones), or an insititution wanting a workable online resource for providing or organising student services, then StudentBox can help you find what you're looking for. The site also offers a range of services for companies looking to connect with the student market, or simply get word out about relevant products or promotions.

Carl is so far doing very well on the show, he was runner up in the first episode (each episode sees two millionaire contestants leave). Fluent in three languages and with a successful background in a range of business sectors by the time he left university, Carl is certainly a strong contender to do very well in the show - catch him in action on BBC Three at 9pm on Wednesdays, or visit the BBC website to watch online with iPlayer.
