Whenever discussing possible Facebook applications or some of the concepts involved in bringing a product into Facebook, I invariably hear a lot of:
"we want to do X because we've found college students respond well to Y"
or
"college students [on Facebook] will love Z"



Now, I don't mean to be too picky but there's a couple of problems with this:
  • Over 50% of Facebook is not in college
  • Just how old do I look to you?*

Seriously now.
