Hi Damien,

Louise Holden of the Times here. I’m doing a piece on Facebook and Irish universities – I was hoping you might give me a bit of background. Can you mail me if you can help? Thanks a million.

I do Damien… I thought my comment made that clear, obviously not!

I just wonder what metrics the flyers thing is using? It appears it no longer shows numbers either.

Am I just missing something?

Gavin, you do realise being in Ireland and in the Ireland network is different, that being in UCC and in the UCC network is different and that you can be in more than one network at the same time but not in more than one country?

I understand Cillian, but does that make the figures more or less reliable?

Plenty of people who are Irish and live in Ireland don’t join regional networks at all – but is Facebook going on the networks or on the Hometown etc? So too with other networks.

According to the flyer there are 20 people in UCC, who are in also in the United States network, but when you do an advanced search you find far more who call the US their hometown but are in UCC.
