These Stanford Students Made Millions Taking A Class On Facebook

In 2007, Stanford professor B.J. Fogg encouraged his class to create Facebook apps for homework assignments.
The resulting 31 apps became bigger successes than anyone could have predicted.
Together, the class of 75 students created applications that were used by 16 million people.  Some of the students made so much money that they dropped out of school.  Others went on to create Facebook-based businesses, and sold them for millions of dollars.
The class' creations received so much buzz that 500 people, including many venture capitalists, attended the final presentations.
