		<description>I&#039;m blown away by how few of people use UNC web server space.  Especially, when you consider a student budget comes into play with a monthly or yearly bill.

I&#039;m not blown away by &#039;The Facebook&#039; usage.  It&#039;s not only incredible by the amount that it&#039;s discussed through word-of-mouth, but it&#039;s also incredible how much information people will place upon their &quot;My Profile&quot; page.

I&#039;m also amazed by how few grad students are utilizing it when compared to the amount of freshmen and sophomores utilizing the tool.

Great stuff...

		<description>Just observing my students, I notice that reliance on UNC services such as mail and webspace has declined and in many cases vanished entirely.
We require that students have an ONYEN and that they recieve mail at a unc.edu address, but more often than not the unc.edu address is a forward to an account (yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc) that the student has had since high school or earlier.
Similarly, students with web space take advantage of a service that they have had before coming to UNC and expect to have after leaving UNC.
Why? In part because the Only Name You&#039;ll Ever Need (ONYEN) is only temporary. It vanishes when you leave UNC and with it your email and website -- and without forwarding of either.
Students and other users see their websites and email as more of less permanent (&quot;I want my friends to find me&quot; etc) and the UNC solution as transient.</description>
