Logging in for friendship

Disclaimer: Any resemblance to a Harvard Crimson editorial is purely coincidental actually kinda intentional.

An apparent lack of friendliness among students has led Harvard University to initiate a new social networking system. Harvardlunch.com is meant to foster interaction and friendships among undergraduates. Although efforts to increase social interaction on large campuses are welcome, Harvard's new experiment is the wrong approach because it could easily generate awkwardness instead of amiability. It is doubtful that such a networking system will actually benefit those students who truly need help interacting with their peers.
