The concept here seems to be that by connecting online, users will become more understanding of others and therefore more peaceful. Not a bad idea, but Facebook seems like, philosophically, a bad place to start, since the whole concept is merely mapping out your existing friendships, not making new friends.

Wicked article on a very important topic.

Totally agree with the lads as well. I had a book published on Facebook Statuses entitled 'is: The Phenomenon of the Facebook Status' (www.theisbook.com) and I have to admit that when I was doing my research I found that a lot of, what the media lead us to believe, enemies where actually very good friends and getting along swimmingly, which is beautiful.

Good work Kim-Mai I look forward to reading more of your stuff

If the choice architectures aren't designed well it has every chance of doing the opposite - my thoughts on this here following some fairly "interesting" online mobbings in the UK

You scooped us Kim-Mai! =) We've got some info up at peace.stanford.edu now.

You can also learn more about the project at our Facebook Fan Page, here: http://www.facebook.com/pag...

It's called PeaceDot (think peace-dot-any-website) and it's bigger than just Facebook. We're launching a peace sub-domain right across the web, to showcase new data-sets and new tools for creating peace, things that have never been available in human history until the last few years.

Thanks for covering us!
