I Wanna Know What You're Thinking

It's all Ivy League all the time today at Mr. Shafrir.

My other sister, Spidergirl, wrote a neat little piece for the NY Observer about the crazy kids up at Columbia.

Seems one enterprising young guy created a site dedicated solely to the goings-on at the Butler Library. Best thing, in my opinion, is that he made it open to Columbia students only. Take that Craigslist Rants and Raves section!

Sites like this really intrigue me. On the one hand, it's a great way to do things like not study. On the other hand, it's a potential, albeit small, portend into the potential fate of top dogs like Facebook -- in 3 months, the site has seen 13,000 posts, and new functionality is going up every day. College kids (and I know, I was one), are notriously fickle and if anything points to the precarious position of sites like Facebook (and Friendster before it), it's stuff like this. So, random dude at Columbia, Mr. Shafrir salutes you. Now go celebrate with enough beers to end up with your pants around your ankles in the back of an NYPD cop car. Cause, you know, that's the only way to do it right.

Details are here.
