Did anyone else have one of those in college? An actual book, similar to a yearbook, that was distributed to each class at the beginning of freshman year, and had everyone's photos (99% were senior pics) and info (like permanent address) in it? facebooks from other class years were prized possessions if you wanted info on someone in another class.
I had one in college - this was in 1997, before Mark Zuckerberg revolutionized creeping. One of my friends had a guy call her after he saw her picture in the facebook and ask her out. These days, I guess he would have virtually "poked" her.
I heard a story on NPR about bunch of students at Stanford that scanned and uploaded their facebooks to the internet - before Facebook.com. It made me wonder where my old facebook was...
