[Yulpub] Professors and Facebook

[Suzanne Lorimer]

 From today's Wired Campus:


<http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=1311>Should Professors Use 
Facebook?

A 
<http://justintapp.blogspot.com/2006/02/fascinated-with-facebook.html>blog 
post we stumbled on a while back, by a graduate student, warned other 
students that professors have started creating accounts on Facebook, the 
social-networking Web site so popular with students these days: "If a 
student misses class and says 'I had a doctor's appointment,' I've seen 
professors that get on Facebook, read the kid's wall and see that he was 
invited to a party the night before, and the kid was absent because he was 
actually hung over." Are professors using Facebook for this purpose? Should 
professors enter this online social space for any reason?
