It seems the author was looking at the Facebook group the wrong way. I'm sure most people signed up to it to get questions answered and discover who their roommate was going to be. He seems disappointed that the people he talked to on it didn't become his friends. The group served it's purpose - to make friends you converse with people in person when you get to college. The author seems to have unrealistic expectations of social media.
