    For those in college, how many of you have posted a profile on www.thefacebook.com ? At my school this network has been getting very popular.

    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!

    Sorry dear, no old people allowed. :biggrin:

    (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...:)

    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.
