No matter how big a splash you make in this world whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Bieber or a talking teddy bear, eventually, nobody gives a shit. - a quote from 'Ted' the movie...

I guess they are counting on the premise that in future people who have their info public on facebook will increase... Given the things they have accomplished so far and the amount of investment that has gone into facebook, It will not be surprising if someday FB does add user web surfing data...

The site looks more like a tech blog (like techcrunch etc. but still in its nascent stages) than an online learning platform. The content does not match up to the standards of what you will call education. It has a long way to go before it justifies being an online learning platform...

loved your analogy... but you see I use Toyota all the time... just that if I have a choice between a Toyota and a Ferrari, I'll go with Ferrari if I have the resources. Anyways I love Coursera, I am taking a lot of classes there. Remember a lot of quality of a course depends on how well the teacher conveys it whether its a lecture hall or an online course.

I still doubt that online courses could be ever a replacement for that good old one on one classroom session... the discussions and interactions between good students and professors... I find there's no faster way to learn than when an expert explains something to you in person, you can ask questions there and then... clarify them and move on. In an online lecture if I get stuck... I'll have to pause, clarify my question searching on google(sometimes not easy), then get back to the rest of the lecture.
