With users tagging images, text and other forms of content, an organic sort of taxonomy has blossomed, appropriately called FOLKSONOMY You Work on It Why pay a professional when...
...Amelie” again. Everyone has heard of Harvard, and this makes a wider range of people want to come. It also means that your average Harvard student is more—dare I say?—normal than your average Yalie. Harvard’s sheer world fame draws excellent students from all countries and backgrounds while Yale, less-known, still feeds off more exclusive, east-coast-preppy sources. 46 percent of Yale’s freshman class came from private and parochial schools.
