thefacebook.com

Thefacebook.com allows its users to stay connected with friends from high school and college and it also allows users to reconnect with those old grammar school friends. The popularity of the web site actually surprised me. After only about a year on the internet, thefacebook.com has spread to over 2.3 members at 573 colleges and universities across the nation. According to nineronline.com, "nearly 200 students per day" join thefacebook. Much of the increase in members can be attributed to USC (University of Southern California); over 30% of the student body of USC are members of thefacebook. The support and popularity of thefacebook demonstrates students' needs to keep in-touch. Even though there are devoted anti-facebook students out there, there are way more in support of thefacebook making it the newest method of communication among college students.
