2¢ Worth » A Very Cool Story

One of the best stories I heard was told by a school librarian, Kathy Gallagher. Her daughter is a senior in high school and is currently shopping for colleges. Kathy said that all of the schools her daughter is considering have their own Facebook groups — except for one, a fairly small liberal arts school. …So her daughter set up the the group for the school. She said, “In just a couple of days, the group grew to over 300.”

This was very impressive — to all of us. But hoping to learn more, I asked, “So why did she set up the group?”

Gallagher looked at me, as if I had completely missed the point. I had completely missed the point. She said that her daughter was visiting the Facebook groups to get answers to questions about student life at the schools from the perspective of students. She wanted to ask the same questions about the small liberal arts school, so she created the community for the school, grew the community, and then had over 300 sources for answers to her questions.
