Passion

"When Mark Zuckerberg, a junior at Harvard, introduced thefacebook.com in February, he never imagined the site soon would have 180,000 registered users at 37 colleges and universities. In addition to listing e-mail addresses, cell-phone numbers and screen names, facebook profiles allow you to list the courses you're taking, which clubs you're involved in and your summer plans. It's the ultimate tool for finding someone to borrow lecture notes from or for figuring out whose floor to crash on while you follow Phish cross-country. Kate Stanchik, a junior at Harvard, says it's easy to spend hours looking up friends—and scouting out peers who share your passion for four-square. If all goes as planned, thefacebook will hit nearly 70 new campuses come September."

"Thefacebook encourages students at some 37 universities to create personal profiles that include a picture, basic information, and extended biographical details such as political views, hobbies, and interests. Once they have signed up, students can request other members at any university to be their friends -- and once those approached have accepted the request, they can view each other's profiles and friends. Other handy features include the ability to send messages, to search for other signed-up students in your classes, and a reminder of friends' upcoming birthdays. "
