The death of the yearbook

The Economist notes the death of the yearbook on American college campuses, as social networks like Facebook take over. Of course, what students really need is a printed archive of the "best of" their Facebook network for those four years:

Long after Facebook and MySpace have become obsolete and the electrons dispersed to the ether, future alumni might just wish for the permanence of ink on paper.

Anyway, a one-size-fits-all yearbook might work for a high school class of a few hundred, but it makes little sense for a state university class in the tens of thousands.
