Having said that we just launched SkoolPool on FaceBook for students applying to colleges and universitites. It's a bit more serious than many other applications so we'll see how it goes. But I do think social networks are a new fact of life so can't be ignored -- but gold is always hard to find. It might be a gold rush…but how many of the applications will be around in the morning.

Then when they were riding on top of the internet buzz, they dumped ads all over their free sites just to get some return on their moneymaker. Remember how in doing that, thousands abandoned their sites and the company evolved into a portal for spammers and link farmers and crappy design quickly after? Good times.
