Group Me with Food!
I can’t post a link because I don’t have one that will work universally, but I just want to talk to you guys about this great new Food Groupme I’ve been added to! It is called “Free Food at Cornell” and it has over 600 students involved in the chat. Basically, whenever anyone is hosting or sees an event giving away free food, they text this thread, and then hopefully a handful of nearby, hungry students can wander on in and get fed.
This is a great example of Networks in the real world, because you can see people getting added, and then they add their other friends, etc, etc. I had a conversation with my friends about how long it would take to get almost the entire campus onto this chat thread, and I have to say, I think it is definitely possible. Free food coming with no risk other than possibly filling out a survey? That’s something everyone likes.
