One speaks: "the kids, they have this thing called 'The Facebook;' seems it's a Big Deal. Let's have the boys downstairs get us on the Cluetrain to the Long Tail or whatever so that we can get a piece of some of that Facebook action. Now, enough of this foolishness--let's go sue somebody. [smiles from everyone; several light cigars]." OK, I exaggerate. But I agree that the idea seems pretty suspect. I think that Those Kids often see social networking space as something that's theirs--a place where they don't have to be working. That's not always true, and I think it may change as students begin to realize <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/swiftkick/the-secrets-behind-facebook-and-myspace-for-students" rel="nofollow">the importance and potential</a> of digital footprints. So maybe I give Bb less credit than they deserve; time will tell.
