<div>Slightly off-topic, but I just noticed that Google has bought a potential alternative to FaceBook

On a different slant, has anybody else set up a Facebook page for their school? I have an idea that it may be similar to what many here have done with Wikipedia. I am in non hurry, the school secretary can tip-toe across this line .. just looking for some pointers
that can be passed on.<br>

I guess social networking is the area of technology that the brave will<br>
lead the rest of us through.<br>
Unfortunately, I have been scarred many times by these systems and not<br>
because of my self but people associated with me not having good<br>
security, or sensibility.<br>
<br>
I guess that's why my last post was so rushed and mistyped.<br>
<br>
I did remember hearing about an open source version of facebook called<br>
diaspora starting soon, which has much higher levels of security but as<br>
yet I am still waiting to see how easy it is to configure. Also I did<br>
not find the Privacy Policy for this new system. However I did find the<br>
article now.<br>
