Furthermore, the new Web site will face a considerable activation energy barrier to its success—the number of users will have to reach a dauntingly large critical mass before the site becomes a worthwhile investment. And the UC??s track record with events whose success depends on active student participation has not been the best. For a number of years, the vast majority of students have managed to get to the airport without a problem. Those who are unable to take the T (at a fraction...
