Mon, 31 Dec 2007 20:11:40 +0000 http://www.fadetoplay.com/2007/12/26/canadian-universities-are-recruiting-via-facebook/#comment-27883 [...] Got to this post, via Twitter btw, talking about universities like Mount Allison who are building Facebook groups for prospective students.  The idea is that prospective students and chat with others interested in going there and, I assume, current students and alumni (the cynic in my figures that admissions is going to try to stack the deck with folks with positive things to say).  Good idea, why not.  If you’re in high school and looking for a place to go to school afterward, wouldn’t you want more than the basic college tour?  Why Canada?  These stats tell the tale: Of the more than 59 million active users, over 7 million are Canadian. Is Facebook a viable place for universities to recruit students?

I guess it was predictable. I quit facebook a while ago because of the obnoxious applications they were adding. I used to love it, but now it's just annoying. I found this pretty interesting.
