<p>this doesnt seem to make sense. UT Austin number 5???? Berkely better than Harvard?? UVA is 15, and it beats Princeton whose 44. Im laughing. How do they come up with this?</p>
<p>about as bogus as the us news rankings. any school can be number one if you change the methodology.</p>
<p>Did you read how they compiled this list thrills? Click on one of the factors listed at the top.</p>
<p>If you actually read the site, their objective isn't to rank the best universities in the world. </p>
<p>" The World Universities' ranking on the Web is an initiative of the Laboratorio de Internet (internetlab.cindoc.csic.es), a working group devoted to the quantitative study of the internet and specially the process of scholar communication in the Web."</p>
<p>I think they'd be the ones laughing.</p>
<p>penn state isn't rank 10.</p>
<p>thus, that list doesn't matter.</p>
<p>in fact, i'm really over rankings because the employer is who matters. automatically, if you are good and at the top, you'll get a good salary.</p>
<p>Exactly, sv3a. The list doesn't really mean anything.</p>
<p>so they are ranking the universities based on internet avaliablitiy??</p>
<p>Yeah, basically. It's just based on the school's use of the internet.</p>
<p>thats weird. how would that help</p>
<p>btw, is UVA off for presidents day today?</p>
<p>if only...</p>
<p>The point of the list is to see how well schools use the internet to post academic information like journals, reports, etc that would anyone could easily access through the web. It seems to be more of a scholarly thing than anything else.</p>
