BoingBoing posts about NEU
BoingBoing posts about Northeastern University
After Xeni Jardin faked alumnus status at Stanford to get access to The Facebook, she explored and came up with commentary on the site. Asking to be added as her friend, I did so as a faithful BoingBoing reader should do. I have a feeling she did look at my profile, as well, since her article in the LA Times about the Facebook mentions the Oregon Trail interest group I belong to on my Facebook account (that exists only at the NEU Facebook). In any case, Northeastern’s documentary video on the Facebook also made a special mention. Check it out.

I didn’t fake anything in order to get access, I just asked the site’s founders! :-) The people behind Facebook allowed a bogus profile to be generated and created an account for me. I don’t want people to be left with the impression that you can fake your way in. And yeah, thanks for “friending” me!
