Poking will never be the same.

Since it appeared on campus last spring, The Facebook has served as the perfect device for procrastination-prone stu-dents everywhere.

Early morning or late night … any time is Facebook time.

Thousands of Northeastern students have signed up for the popular Web site, creating profiles to include their romantic interests, music and movie tastes, favorite quotes and class schedules. If you want to find students with the same passions or pet peeves, look no further than groups such as “Afternoon Family Feud Fanatics” and “Boston Chinese Food Sucks.”

Is there a big party coming up this weekend? Check on The Facebook for the date, time and RSVP list. It’s all there.

Been poked? Received weird messages from random guys in chemistry lab? You bet. While some may be a bit creeped out by The Facebook’s scary ability to create potential stalkers out of all of us, it has become a college campus phenomenon. Love it or hate it, it’s this year’s pick for Most Useful College Web Site.
