Hoot.Me is a Facebook application that allows students to switch their Facebook into study mode. Study mode means that students are able to see what their friends are working on and collaborate inside of Facebook. For example, if a student is working on calculus homework, Hoot lets the student see all of his or her friends working on calculus. He or she can then collaborate from within Facebook using video conferencing, screen sharing, and smart chat. Smart chat allows typed math equations to be automatically reformatted to look the way they should. Hoot.Me leverages the social network to make it a knowledge network.
