I honestly don't know what a facebook is...my guess, a roster or directory.

Exactly. A facebook is a directory--usually of the freshman class and new transfer students--primarily to aid in social networking on campus within the class.

I've never received a facebook at any point in my college career (one year at Wis.-Stout, this year at Wis.-Waukesha).

Two Harvard guys jumped on this idea and established Facebook as a result.

Now, it's popular--as in estimates say more than 80% of undergrads at participating colleges (or universities) use it.

I refuse to use it though.
