To study how personal tastes, habits and values affect the formation of
social relationships (and how social relationships affect tastes, habits
and values), a team of researchers from Harvard and the University of
California, Los Angeles, are monitoring the Facebook profiles of an
entire class of students at one college.
It’s no secret that Facebook, which started as a networking playground
for college kids, is graying, and that the percentage of active members
who are over 25 years old and out of school has risen to some 40

questions. Will the loss of the campus sensibility and the youthful
gestalt dilute the Facebook experience?
This group is for students and community participants involved in the
Learning From YouTube media studies class at Pitzer College in Claremont,
CA.
Here's a dream-come-true for Web addicts: college credit for watching
YouTube. Pitzer College this fall began offering what may be the first
course about the video-sharing site. About 35 students meet in a
classroom but work mostly online, where they view YouTube content
and post their comments.

momentum with users and the news media. Now, it is being subjected to
the same accusations that it does not do enough to keep sexual
predators off its site.

family or people you meet here. Join Vimeo now and share your first video

With an ambitious strategy for expansion, Facebook is getting in MySpace’s face.
The Richmond experience is part of a wave of sophisticated computing and mathematical analytics that is moving into the mainstream. Fueling the trend are the digitization of information, ever faster and cheaper computing, and the explosion of online networks and data collection.
