Well, sometimes it seems like the official observers of our world just don't get it. Wired is doing a series on the Web and education this week. Today's offering focused on 'Social Networks" for students. For some reason, they served up mostly irrelevant choices. "Friendster"? "LinkedIn"? I won't criticize those businesses but they are not for students. I easily forgive them overlooking Carmun -- we're little (at least for now) -- but how about music related sites like PureVolume or Xianz a Christian themed social net. Both aim for the student demo and both take a unique approach compared to MySpace or Facebook. If the article had come from Time magazine -- maybe, but from Wired, all I can say is shame on them for not sharing with people the wonderful diversity of stuff that is out there for students.
