the facebook online

a guy called mark zuckerberg yesterday launched "thefacebook" which is just for students @ harvard college

its based on an earlier facemash application he created which used photos he hacked from harvard's computer network (he was lucky not to get in serious trouble for that)

as a piece of software it seems to allow people to update info about themselves and keep people in touch by befriending them

as an idea i guess this might spread to a few other posh ivy league colleges but beyond that the use seems limited

i mean - who wants to spend time checking out others peoples pictures?


mark my words - it will never catch on.
