(I generall lurk on this list.) I concur w/ Chris Hodge here - I'm not sure what the problem is. You can go to the website itself which is fairly deep. Most of the people I hear from on FB aren't of the breakfast variety - instead there are an enormous number of urls, many of which are useful. - Alan On Mon, 4 Jan 2010, Chris Hodge wrote:
I am a "friend" of Reid Cornwell's on FB, although I've never met him and can't clearly remember why (if I ever knew why) he sent me a friend request in the first place.
I find FB, while remaining a great way to keep in touch with real friends ("My cold won't go away," "We had to take Ginger to the vet" etc.), is also becoming the place where I continue those watercooler conversations with professional colleagues ("Am at Supercomputing and just saw a presentation that didn't suck," e.g.). I suppose this is the same function as Twitter -- I follow Howard Rheingold on Twitter for instance -- but FB seems to suggest a more communal conversation.
Cornwell' posts to FB BTW fall into that useful watercooler category.

I see an interesting thread coming up, let's say 10-15 posts a day, about friend request practices. Btw Burcu, does this Reid Cornwell frequently update about their breakfast?

Helen, He is my FB friend too... He also seems to have a bunch of other scholars as his FB friends... I guess I don't quite understand what made you suspicious. Care to elaborate?
