The horrible tragedy that occurred yesterday at Virginia Tech has been creating much deserved buzz all over the internet as well as buzz on the social networking site Facebook, whose main audience is college students and alumni across the nation.

In the deadliest campus shooting in US history, Virginia Tech lost a total of 33 students and faculty members, including the gunman. It is no doubt a sad time and many students are coping by coming together on Facebook to share stories and provide support.

A simple search on Facebook for “Virginia Tech”, gives more than 500 groups with almost all dedicated to offering support for the university as well as individuals lost in the massacre. It is fascinating to see this networking tool used in such a meaningful way to bring people together in this time of crisis and pay tribute to those lost in the shootings.

In addition, when cell phones failed to work, many Virginia Tech students used Facebook during and just after the shootings to communicate with their families and friends back home to let them know they were safe.

Many students at universities all across the country have replaced their profile photo (which is usually of themselves) with the Virginia Tech logo surrounded by a black ribbon, symbolizing the sympathy and thoughts for their community.

Our condolences go out to the friends, families, and the entire Virginia Tech community during this difficult time.
