The document discusses social networking services usage at San Diego State University (SDSU) according to selected data from the 2008 ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology. It finds that 78,094 SDSU students reported having a MySpace account while 22,778 reported being on Facebook, though it was difficult to differentiate student accounts. It then lists examples of Facebook groups created for and by SDSU students, covering topics like academic departments, sports, cultural events, and humor.
