  Blackboard is more than that. Last time I checked (a year ago) Piazza is just a discussion and a place to release announcement.

    Not quite. Piazza allows instructors to post resources as well. I've taken a few courses that centered themselves around Piazza and the Piazza course page.

  From a student's perspective, Piazza is really nice for communicating. I have never seen any of the professors at my university use it for anything else. They mostly use Sakai, and I don't really have any complaints about it. (and on an unrelated note, they have complained about getting spammed by Piazza)

  Piazza is great at what it does: enabling discussion and making have a rolling wiki where they can talk to course staff about issues with the homework. However, they're alienating me with the career-recruitment spam - especially because it's not optional. Plus, isn't this all the more alienating for humanities courses? If it bothers me, and I'm enrolled in/TA'ing cs classes, it must bother the hell out of humanities majors with classes on piazza.
