UW students develop new online social networking technology

New technology developed by some students at the UW could change how users share photos on Facebook and MySpace.

"My mom is on Facebook, my dad is. All my professors are on Facebook now. It's hard for me to share stuff with my friends without them seeing everything," said [Michael] Toomim.

So Toomim and co-founder Nathan Morris developed Friendbo, an application that allows online social networkers to upload photos and protect the photo group with questions that only people in that group would be able to answer.
