Facebook Groups for .EDU [Storified]

by Audrey Watters on 11 Apr, 2012

Nope. I did not write a story about Facebook's news today: the official announcement of a Facebook groups for .edu. The social networking giant will now "go back to its roots" as many headlines read today, offering exclusive groups for universities. I had a lot of questions about the news, but ugh, sorry. I didn't feel like writing a story after every other tech blog covered it. I tweeted my thoughts instead and BOOM, I storified it.
