Here is the URL to the story. (Mike feel free to make it a linky linky!) http://www.miamistudent.net/media/paper776/news/2006/02/10/FrontPage/Student.Arrested.For.Inducing.Panic.With.Facebook.Picture-1607555.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.miamistudent.net Sorry...I'm not that adept with posting links within a single word. Going to have to work on that one. Regardless, I hate posting this story but I thought it would fit. Miami had a bad week in January and the last thing they needed was 1. a fake assault report & 2. a bozo pasting his own picture on facebook as a rape suspect. Love and Honor...

Vanity Fair has a great article on it but I don't think it's online yet...

I always think it's a good idea to use current controversies in our teaching to help students see the conversations around them. The facebook unit sounds very interesting.

I've been following the facebook stories with much interest and am anxious to hear more response--from academics, students, mass culture, etc. Keep us updated on how the unit plays out.
