I work in student conduct and we gear our facebook discussion to incoming students about ways to safe guard their information (class schedules, residence hall rooms, full birthdays, etc.) as a public safety piece. It's good to see that facebook is putting so many regulatory features on the site, now we just have to get students to use them. We also talk a lot with students and incoming faculty about professional communication and tend to shy away from Facebook as a means to communicate as a member of the university community. I wonder if this is going to change as employers and perhaps universities can look to facebook to get a good look at a student's portfolio, resume, or other items important to their hiring or admisison. Time will only tell. Great information!

I suspect not many students (or professionals) have ever drilled that far down to fine-tune their settings. I'm not an admissions decider, but just the things I see in some profile pictures tell me more than I want to know (note to high school seniors: posing with a beer as your profile pic isn't the smartest move). But I like the idea of having portfolio pieces online and accessible. That thoughtfulness alone would impress admissions officers ... presuming those staffers are Facebook-savvy. Very informative!
