The multi-channel Facebook app developed by FreeCast.com experiences unprecedented growth in users during the first weeks of the tournament

2012-03-26

ORLANDO, FL, March 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) It's been an exciting few weeks as we've watched the 68 teams in the 2012 NCAA Tournament get whittled down to the Sweet Sixteen, and an innovative Facebook app developed by FreeCast.com ("Your Personal Channel Guide") has helped to guide thousands of fans to live online coverage of every game provided by CBS Sports and Turner Sports.

In addition to serving as the ultimate guide to online TV for Facebook users, the FreeCast app has provided countless web-surfers a convenient way to find and watch major events such as the Super Bowl and the GRAMMYs via Facebook, but the massive viewership for the NCAA Tournament has helped the app see its most rapid growth in users ever.

After some impressive wins by Syracuse, Louisville, Florida and Ohio State on Thursday, the anticipation of the remaining rounds will be sure to attract even more viewers, and FreeCast expects that a large portion of those viewers will be using their app to keep up with excitement on Facebook.

"We've had a tremendous response from Facebook users in the past few weeks, and we're delighted that our app has helped so many college basketball fans find and watch every game of the tournament online," says FreeCast CEO William Mobley. "As we enter the final rounds, we expect even more tournament fans to see the value of our app as the go-to guide for keeping up with all the action."

High school math teachers may not make the grade when it comes to gender bias

2012-03-26

Austin, TX—Do some high school teachers think math is harder for girls than boys? The authors of a new study say yes. Researchers looked at student grades, test scores and how teachers rated their students' abilities. They found that while on average teachers rate minority students lower than their white male counterparts, these differences disappear once grades are taken into account. (Those findings are consistent with decades of research on the minority gap in math achievement.) The new research, however, found bias against white girls that can't be explained by their ...

AGU: Small clique of nations found to dominate global trading web of food, water

2012-03-26

WASHINGTON - It's not easy, or economically feasible, to ship freshwater across the globe. But when scientists use food as a proxy for that water - taking into account how much crops are irrigated and livestock are fed - they can get a glimpse of the flow of freshwater between countries. When one research group studied this "virtual water network," they found that the interconnectedness between countries has almost doubled over the last two decades - potentially lending some resiliency to the water trade. Still, a handful of nations control a majority of the freshwater ...

Discovery sheds new light on wandering continents

2012-03-26

A layer of partially molten rock about 22 to 75 miles underground can't be the only mechanism that allows continents to gradually shift their position over millions of years, according to a NASA-sponsored researcher. The result gives insight into what allows plate tectonics – the movement of the Earth's crustal plates – to occur. "This melt-rich layer is actually quite spotty under the Pacific Ocean basin and surrounding areas, as revealed by my analysis of seismometer data," says Dr. Nicholas Schmerr, a NASA Postdoctoral Program fellow. "Since it only exists in certain ...
