Now there are two boxes (left=UK, right=US) with a bunch of different news stories in them. The height of each colored bar (the different colors are […]

While talking about a possible online Facebook/networking site at the meeting Tuesday, Club Nexus came up as an example that had been already tried at Stanford. Here’s a link that describes Club Nexus in detail for those not present at the time to experience it (in my opinion, you didn’t miss much…): A social network […]
