Would you study on Facebook?

No, really, what do you think theyre doing?Would you study on Facebook? Not study as in Facebook stalk your cute sophomore lab partner (or, let's be honest, yourself), but study as in, like, prepare for an exam?The answer to that question, found Ingrial, the company behind the now-defunct Facebook app "Courses," is no, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

"We found that Facebook was not a popular place to engage with course content," says Michael Staton, Inigral's chief executive.Students preferred using it for things like looking at friends' photos.
