Wall Street Journal Covers Stanford Facebook Class
Published by Rodney Rumford December 19th, 2007 in Facebook, Facebook Applications.
I just wanted to make the world even more aware of what Standford has done in regards to their innovative facebook class. I have been blogging about this extensively. I just wanted to send kudos to all the students; what a nice way to end the semester. I am just so enthused by the students in this class. Your parents will be proud that you can now make your tuition off of your facebook apps. 
The WSJ article has some nice quotes from the students.
Short WSJ Excerpt:
“The applications included the bizarre, such as “Love Child,” where users “conceive” a virtual child with a friend and then play with or discipline it. “We have an algorithm in which if you lecture your child, its IQ goes down,” joked Johnny Hwin, a M.S. student in management science and engineering. “The thing about creating an engaging app is getting attention and using humor, so people will spend a lot of time on the site. And eventually click on ads.”
See Johnny in action here at his presentation at PARC bay Chi event at Stanford talking about Love Child. His presentation was hysterical. This will be the best 4 minutes you spend today; I promise. Spread the love. I already have a love child; his name is Beavis.
p.s. We have some team interviews with the creators of send hotness, save the rainforest and love child coming up very soon so stay tuned. We also have more stanford student presentation videos coming soon.

Hey Rodney, thanks for the coverage. JFYI, the picture at the top of the post shows up full-size in the RSS feed. If you fix it I’ll give your child candy.
