According to ShuttleGirl's creators--neither of whom are actually computer science concentrators--the program has been successful so far in assisting shuttle users.
Less than 24 hours after they sent an e-mail message publicizing the website to Pforzheimer's open e-mail list, Delvecchio and Karamchandani reported over 1,000 hits.
Early feedback was very positive, they said. No one reported any mistakes on the site, and many inquired as to the identity of the woman on the site.
Delvecchio and Karamchandani said they were not at liberty to say who ShuttleGirl is--if she is, in fact, a real person at all.
Shuttleboy, they said, was not actually based on a real person.
The program's founders said they consider the apparent sex appeal and mysterious identity of ShuttleGirl an added bonus to attract people to the site. Their ultimate goal is convenience.
"It's nice to create something that people--including ourselves--can use," Karamchandani said.
