Good looking app. Stands out as distinct and memorable.
The name is a bit obscure and hard to remember. Might hurt word of mouth (which could be a big deal on campuses).
I'd recommend getting rid of the adwords. Highly doubtful that they'll make you much money, and its a big distraction.
An alternative monetization approach would be to search for keywords on peoples pages and have a sidebar that recommends books (on amazon affiliates) based on the keywords on their notebooks. Call it a book recommender. Fairly easy to parse out keywords and query recommendation on amazon, and you could even run this as a cron job nightly. Here's a good libary: http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-aws/
Nice move focusing on email, sms, and facebook integration. This is the key features that will keep people using your app. More than any fancy html management interface. May be worth looking at iPhone/mobile interface and meebo support for chatting with partners.
Just a few random thoughts. Hope they are helpful.
