Despite what you hear in the media, Lawrence University’s Class of 2013 has responded loud and clear that twitter and myspace are not their preferred social networking sites. We asked incoming Lawrentians which of the three sites they would pick if we could only keep one: Twitter, Facebook or MySpace. The option of “none, thanks” actually beat Twitter and MySpace…
Combined…
Times five.
Facebook is by far the most preferred site of the three.
1 – Facebook, 83.0% (151 individual votes!)
2 – None, Thanks, 14.3% (26 individual votes)
3 – MySpace, 2.2% (just four votes)
4 – Twitter, 0.5% (one solitaire vote!)
We will pass this information along to a campus department all of you will likely rely on: Information Technology Services. Although most of the information on their page relates to your life after you arrive on campus, it’s worth knowing that they are there, and how they will be able to help you. When you get some time away from Facebook, check it out.
Now, we’ll go tell ITS to plan some extra bandwidth for Facebook!
