Our university sent out an email the other day on their "emergency notification procedures" (due to the events in VA). Summary: the campus is too large for campus-wide lock-down, so they'll send emails to each building's "deputy", maybe turn on the air sirens (?!), use a "telephone tree" for the sorts and frats, and: "We are exploring the possibilities offered by Facebook. We have just created a [...] group on Facebook" so folks can join and receive notices. And Rupert Murdoch greedily rubs his hands together. Facebook has a positive!

I joined facebook to make sure my students were making sport with me all over the site, and now I only have like ten friends, which I don't think is very many. I'll be your friend if you join...actually, as blandishments go, that's pretty effin' weak. Aw, come on.
