British parent Billy Fitzgerald noticed that his student daughter was spending too much time on Facebook and not enough on studying. So he designed a website, www.studentsandacademics.com, that has research and social network tools as well as ezines, videos, online newspapers, horoscope and news reports.

"The idea of www.studentsandacademics.com is for it to be a one stop site for all students and academics, so they can be in contact with friends , but also do homework or research at the same time," Fitzgerald says. "The site can also be used for students and academics to start their own club to pass on and share course study information. I have also included lesson plans and research material to cover all subjects."
