"I'll See You on Facebook"

There is still so much to write about Facebook and it is increasingly becoming popular the discussion on the many uses for Facebook and how it impacts businesses, communication, social interactions, libraries and even teaching. But at reading this article, it seemed to me that there is so much enthusiasm involved at the idea of professors meeting with students through Facebook. It seems to be fun, but to what extent do you want to use Facebook as a way to professionally impact your students without mixing personal, impersonal with professional behavior. How much can the student professor relationship can handle before it becomes to personal. Any way the same can be said about libraries and librarians. I believe that as long as the Facebook page is used for professional use as in this case it can be handled ok. I would be a little concerned about other people ability to see what is going on and how much of school involvement can their be in the page. How much is it allowed? there are so many questions and many are answered in the article but I think it is still to early to say how this will all pan out . It is still a good article but nevertheless I would wait to see how many professors out there are using Facebook to reach out to their students. At least I have not met a single professor that is using facebook to conduct business with students.
