[governance] IGC on Facebook?

[Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law]

Some of us don't use Facebook, so while duplicating content there may be a 
convenience, making it a unique source of anything will have the effect 
of cutting us out of the conversation.

I don't use Facebook for two reasons: its architecture, and the fact that 
I teach and neither wish to 'friend' nor offend my students.

You should also be aware that some US educational institutions (wrongly in 
my opinion, but no one asked me) actually *forbid* instructors to be on 
Facebook on pain of dismissal.
