  1. They actually didn’t copy the source code but just the design. They wrote their own source code but mocked facebook by using the word ‘fakebook’ in their code… that’s what you saw in the error messages.

  5. you forgot to mention the good things about studivz…
    1) the courses/lectures you’re attending. everybody just adds them to his studivz and so you’ll find out who’s gonna sit with you in the course even before the semester started.
    2) the groups play a way more important role than in facebook. in studivz it’s all about the groups. some people subscribed to more than 100 groups which makes it easyer to get to know people you don’t know yet.
