Why Facebook Works For Me: A Video Essay by Matt Monahan (for the Stanford Facebook class)

I've been pretty busy getting ready for Graphing Social Patterns; haven't had much time yet to blog about the class i'm teaching this fall at Stanford with Prof BJ Fogg, on Building Facebook Apps.

How is the class going?  (everyone asks).  and i say...""

In short: it's a blast :)

One thing we've asked our students to do as a weekly exercise is to create Facebook Notes, Photos, or Videos describing their experiences with Facebook in class & lab, and then people-tag us in the content so we're notified to take a look. the interesting side-effect of this is that now we have ~100 people tagging content about us, and we appear to be Feed Spamming all of our friends (in a good way ;)

In any case, i wanted to highlight a very cool video below by one of our students, Matt Monahan:

Matt is also a co-founder of The CoMotion Group.

This is a great piece of video. I'll be following the B.J.Fogg Course FB group and as a facebooker from over the pond, would love to see an much of the course-work opened up across the graph.

I know I also speak on behalf of developer friends.

PS.. you've been bumped
