I don't see a problem with most of the things that you just said. It is a network for people 1. in the same schools, but also college period. The school e-mail address is just a way to verify that people are actually students at said school. As far as the groups, I don't see anything wrong with it being only for your school. It is a way for you to meet your peers and find things that you have in common with people at your school. Oh and I thought alumni can be apart of it. My friend who graduated from Dartmouth is on there. As far as the new look, it's nice, but I am havin a few probs tryin to navigate through it.
But what if you don't have a school email address is the thing. There are other ways to verify that I go to a certain school. Plus my thing is what about the alumni. Not every school lets alumni keep their email addresses. So some students are still being excluded, ya know? But most people around here wouldn't notice it because the majority of people here are just getting to college, whereas I've been done with college since December 2003. And as far as the groups only being with your school, that's all well and fine for most schools. But I went to Morehouse, as you know that's part of the AUC. So I'm saying it's stupid that I can't create a group for students from Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark-Atlanta. We'tre all two seconds apart, you know. You should be able to have groups how you want them. If you only want people from your school, only invite people from your school to join, but if you want your group to be open to more people you should have that option too... The navigation is weird though. One second I'll be doing a search, and then the next second I get kicked back out to the login page.
Yeah I agree with that for the groups. But with school e-mail, yeah that is kinda shady and a lotta people couldn't get on at first, including me. But it probably is better, because I don't think it's any other way they could really verify you. If you didn't need the e-mail address, it would be millions of people on there who don't go there, and people would have fake aliases since you couldn't see their real name. Just like on myspace n blackplanet, you'd see fake people on there with fake pics, and people would have multiple accounts and would probably even impersonate people.

I like the changes, I wish they could alert you when you have messages and you're logged in though and what friends are online when you are..

The MAIN thing I think Facebook needs is to have a message board, just like The cafe. This would eliminate all the groups that really have no purpose other than showin that you agree with somethin.
