Dawn of the Geeks

Thomas McCarthy wants to say that his palmwalk.com site is a good thing because it shows how “hot” ASU is and therefore will attract more students. Both men and women go to ASU so I did an experiment to see how many pictures I’d have to rate before I came across a guy on palmwalk.com. There are no guys on palmwalk.com.

Maybe some women choose a school based on how “hot” the girls are. But it seems to me that McCarthy is only interested in attracting guys to ASU who pick schools based on how “hot” the girls are.

Maybe this will increase enrollment. But maybe it will turn off girls who don’t want to go to a university with some guy running around with a camera snapping and posting their picture without their consent.

We’ll see.
