At our OneVoice event tonight (SHAMELESS PLUG: if you don't know what this organization is, you should check it out because we do a lot of things on campus -- plus, I'm on the executive board, so you're ensured the added benefit of my presence), the speaker discussed her work with Seeds of Peace, a nonprofit based in Israel. Part of her job dealt with networking and creating groups and seeking out people, and she said that Facebook was a really integral part of her research.
In her words: "As a young person who is very connected to Facebook, I am very skilled at looking at people's friends and finding mutual friends and, well, stalking."
Considering that I have recently spent an embarrassing amount of time browsing wall-to-walls, going through profile pictures, and refreshing my news feed instead of working on my 10-page paper, this bodes extremely well for me. If there are future careers to be made in Facebook stalking, I'll never have to worry about papers, majors, internships, grad schools, or anything else ever again! I don't think I have to explain how excited this makes me.
