Facebook was founded at Harvard, and originally was a Harvard-only (and then Ivy League-only) social network. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook#2004.

Not as much as my students love Facebook, but can anyone love anything that much? My brothers constantly try and get my to have more on my Facebook than the blank profile that it currently is, but one problem I have as a teacher is I don't necessarily want to socialize in the same spheres as my students. How do we deal with that? I mean if a parent saw that I was "friends" with their child, and their child's site had pictures of them in less-than-honorable places, or with abusive language, wouldn't they think I was connected to that? Weird new boundaries coming up here. That being said, I love-my some social networking, especially <a href="http://twitter.com/arvind" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> Love the post.

Put it besides Blackboard and WebCT, and those look like wobbly oxcarts next to a thumpin’ Ferrari." Correct. Maybe our students will invite us to the learning party, if we promise not to put them inside course containers with customizable buttons.... “The bits I have seen indicate they have the social networking and the finding of related interests running at a level our educational tools can only dream of.
