    Anyone else on it? I think it's pretty cool. Especially how you find people form high school.

    TheFacebook takes over ones life, and one finds oneself joining groups like "Group for Those who think that Facebook Groups are for Elitist Pigs that Can't Stand on Their Own."

    It also, needless to say, performs an invaluable tool as stalking-for-dummies aide.

          It's a social networking thing, specific to a certain school: http://www.thefacebook.com/index.php?showall=1

          My school's, for instance: http://calgary.collegefacebook.com/

            I found out that one of my best friends from grade school in Wisconsin who I haven't talked to in years goes to Northeastern, and we went out for coffee the other day.

                I wonder how many RL-problems this causes...

                    Managed to get logged on finally. Found a few people I know on it. Checked up on my students. Interesting to find out something about the personal lives of people you only see in class.

                      I actually find it quite interesting. At my college, it is basically universal, with the effect that it adds another level to social interactions. For instance, the adding of someone to your friends becomes a step, with there being times that it is imperative that you add the person, or unacceptable.

                      It is also a nice political tool, and we use it when trying to find people who might be interested in lobbying, or some conference, or the like.
