I think there is a viral angle. There were a group of friends at college, all CS majors and we competed on our grades. We all wanted to one up each other. I can see the ability to have a score board of some kind where you can share your grades with friends. This could help spread the word a bit.

I'm a little scared of being too social.

Why?

The thing I'm scared of is being Zynga and asking people to share every little thing and to congratulate others when they get good grades. To help the app spread, I need to implement something social such as sharing grades, but I'm going to be careful as to not go too far.

Ok . I have a lot of respect for that approach.
