The Facebook

I've been on it for a while, but (last time I looked!) there were only a few UK Universities on it, so I only have about 4 friends!

 

I will when I can work out what my username and password are!

 

Sorry dear, no old people allowed.

(seriously though, you need a .edu email to be able to get into face book.)

 

Old people are allowed, as long as they are a professor or employee of some university. Of course, I don't know too many professors who would get on Facebook...:)

 

Yep. I'll be joining Facebook when I get my university e-mail address.

 

i'm on it... if you really want to friend me i'm space tigers only (i think) umass friend. and apparently he's dduardo's friens now, who's now greg's friend too. so start with greg and you'll eventually get to me...

 

Oooo I can't wait to befriend Gale!

 

why?? thrill of the chase? maybe i should make it take longer to find me.. hehe.

 

Ahem... :)

 

It says that it supports the college I work at but it wont accept my e-mail adress for some reason.

 

Does it end purely in @yourschool.edu? It may not register you as being part of the school if it's like @staff.yourschool.edu or something.

 

Can it distinguish between student and faculty/staff addresses? Some universities have different servers for student accounts with different domain names that'll give it away who is student vs non-student.

 

Evo's still upset about the your little comment, gravenewworld... :uhh:

It's ok, Evo. You're not old! Why would you wanna be a Facebook member anyway? Too many crazy college kids... I can't wait!

 

From the looks of it, it cannot. Although technically I do have an email@student.CollegeName.edu email, I registered without the .student part and it works fine.

A bunch of my friends pestered me into joining and since then, have pretty much ignored me on it. Although I have found people on there who I havent seen for many many years.

 

hey guys,
this is my first post in about a year :s
but yes i have just registered on face book,
so who wants a friend hahaha

 

It allows both student and staff accounts. It even asks if you are student, alumni, undergrad, faculty, staff, ect..
It may be a different domain though since I put in the school name with out "college" after it (which my adress includes "college") and it took it. Ofcourse I wont get the confirmation e-mail because the adress isn't right. I can submit it to be added though I think.
