Data on the Facebook Discussion

Compete.com Analyzes How Facebook Users Spend Their Time

Some interesting data to follow-up our discussion on Facebook from Compete.com via Tim OReilly. The bulk of the activity is coming from surfing profiles or engaging in applications that have been developed for the platform.

It will be interesting to look at the specific activity behind the applications and monitor if that component gains in popularity over time. Meaning, once you establish you social network will your attention shift to "doing" something, like determining if someone is HotorNot or maybe asking you teacher to clarify the homework assignment. Or will is the primary goal just being social?

  1. Almost everyone that owns a PC, will eventually log on to facebook.com, meaning that teachers and learners can interact through the web. If teachers work with passion, this won't pose as a problem, as learners will only interact with their teachers if they are serious about their academic work.

  3. this is a very goood idea and a great start. It would be great if it would work with the teacher and allows students to work with them. Depends on the student and see if there actually want to learn and take it serious or not.
