Facebook tries for more FOAF
If you check the thefacebook.com for updates, you might notice some “friend details” confirmations waiting for you. That’s because facebook now allows you to define what it thinks are critical aspects of the relationships you have with your friends:
You can specify any of the following attributes:
Lived together
Worked together
From an organization or team
Took a course together
From a summer / study abroad program
Went to school together
Traveled together
In my family
Through a friend
Met randomly
We hooked up
We dated
I don’t even know this person.
Of course, given the facebook’s known CIA ties, you may be leery of providing them with this much information…
More on Dan Pirfo
I am trying to organize a team of students to search for Dan Pirfo ‘08. I want to have a team help search the Gorges, North Campus, Beebe Lake and anywhere else we deem necessary…the Cornell police force is very limited with resources and the students best know the insides and outs of our campus.
If there’s anyone interested, please contact me asap (rdb29). We want to organize this for tomorrow morning early on. If you email me back, I will let all interested know with the time and so forth.

The Ithaca Journal reported today that Dan’s father’s cousin has offered a $25,000 reward for anyone with information that would lead to Dan’s return, “no questions asked”.

Where is Dan Pirfo?
Dan Pirfo, a cornell freshman, has gone missing. After being absend since early Sunday morning, a full manhunt is underway. Apparently Dan left, saying he was going to a party, never to return. Police and students are scouring the area. Here are some vitals that might help identify him:
Last Seen: Mews Hall
Height: 5′8″
Weight: 165 lbs
Race: Caucasian
Dress: Black shirt, Khakis
If you have any information, contact the CU police at 255-1111 or call 911. See Find Dan Pirfo and the Cornell Daily Sun for more information. Personally, my bets are on suicide, given his depressive “favorite quote” on the facebook:
Its only after we’ve lost everything that we are free to do anything. Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.
Another possibility is a hoax–an adult gone less than two days doesn’t seem out of the ordinary to me. Perhaps he left for NYC for a little bit!
