<p>I got this mailing to send my picture and my interests to this company that publishes all the pictures of the incoming class of 2010 at my college in a book and distributes them on orientation day for $16. </p>
<p>Is this a worthwhile endeavour or has the prevalence of facebook basically made this completely useless? Cause if there were someone I'd want to know about, I would just look them up on facebook right?</p>
<p>dont bother buying it...unless when you graduate you want to compare those who entered school with you to who actually leaves with you</p>
<p>and you'll get more out of facebook.com than an actual facebook</p>
<p>yeah - facebook.com renders the actual freshman facebook obsolete</p>
<p>I think the freshman record book is essentially a freshman year book.. I got one my freshman year (granted it was before facebook really caught on). If I met someone in a class & couldn't quite remembert thier name, I could flip through the pages till I saw thier pic. Not everyone joins facebook.. and not everyone submits info to the record book, so it probably won't be that useful.</p>
<p>yea i am not going to submit my pic but i do have (and love) facebook.</p>
<p>ill probably submit my pic... the Alums are paying for ours though so its a "free" gift... yay alums!</p>
<p>Even if you don't want to buy the book yourself, I think you should think about sending in your pic and information, so that the students who pay for the student record really get something for the money...That's at least what I am goign to do.</p>
