Based on my personal experience with Facebook (I've been on it since May 2004) their is a huge boost of traffic once school starts. The main reason for this is that there is a lot more going on: people are meeting new people, going to parties, events, etc. which gives users more reason to check Facebook periodically everyday. I go to a fairly large university and have a decent amount of friends and if I were to check my news feed right now there is basically nothing on it except for a couple of photos from vacations. I'm not sure exactly how big the boost of traffic will be, but there definitely will be one. I think Ihave to disagree with you on this one Nick.

It was how the grad student gathered information about what to expect in a completely different state and it was how the undergraduate kept up with his friends while away from home on a summer job. Facebook is most certainly a communication platform for that generation. If they were going to adopt an application over the past four to six weeks, they already added it to their profiles.

I'm sure there are other articles and useful materials that I haven't yet added to my bibliography, discovered, or have forgotten to tag with "Facebook" but it's a good start. Nick,

But how will we ever know. Is Facebook going to make results public? Will individual application owners? I agree with you, Nick. But how will we ever know. Is Facebook going to make results public?
