Hoot.Me is a Facebook application that converts Facebook into one big study session. Students simply allow the app access to Facebook and they can then instantly enter what they are working on and team up with other users from around the world. The great part of this app is that it takes away a lot of the extraneous Facebook features that one might not want as a distraction while studying or reviewing a concept/problem. Students can video chat with each other, text chat, and even use the smart text editor to enter complex Calculus equations in simple form and see them instantly convert to look as they should. This is a great way for Facebook users to build their social study group.
