Newsflash: Sororities like good looking girls
CBS News is making a big brouhaha over this story: a sorority in Indiana apparently cut 23 out of 35 rushees because they were ugly. Thirty-five sisters were interviewed in November, and 23 were deemed insufficiently committed to the sorority and recruitment. Just before final exams in December, they were

Geeks are cool
Two new sites for all you Web 2.0 devotees: Upscoop lets you see all the social networking sites that your friends belong to. It's one of the ways to address the problem I ranted about in my Unsocial Networks post last month. YourMinis is an attempt to
