Why not give voice to some gratitude and community spirit—maybe in the form of a headband or beanie—even if your Harvard experience has been less than perfect? Ultimately, we have a right to feel proud of, and attached to, the institution we attend, just like students at Cal, Northwestern, or Dartmouth.

Facebook has all the power of Meetup, the online campaign sensation that powered Howard Dean's brief moment in the presidential spotlight four years ago - plus much more. Its 65 billion page views per month make Facebook perfect for rapidly spreading messages and creating trends. "A kid puts up an Obama page, and suddenly she has 35 friends gathered," Riemer marvels. "It was so much more work to get started just five years...
