Good listen! Wonder if its too late to add some "faculty social-networking best practice" into the Strategic Plan :) Heather - Ha! I totally have this theory about super-intellectuals channeling their frustrations through Facebook, since no one really listens or understands them in person. Kevin - Thanks! Good listen!

It's not just the privacy settings. We can't really assume that online postings are particularly private. A good rule of thumb for professionals might be...would I be embarrassed if the person who evaluates me at work reads this comment? In the case of a professor, isn't that their students? So to answer your question, more succinctly, Facebook 101: Student will demonstrate that they understand the importance of maintaining a professional online identity by refraining from posting stupid crap in Facebook. Good luck with that!! Your point is well-taken. It’s not just the privacy settings. We can’t really assume that online postings are particularly private.

Jon talks about "hosted life bits", but also talks about the challenges that any of us face in a world where our identities are online (and not necessarily under our control). This isn't a specific recommendation for faculty, but it is an interesting way to think about managing our online selves. Some very interesting ideas here - I've been looking for a chance to share Jon's talk, and your post comes pretty close.
