Facebooking prospective professors rather than emailing them
Yes, I know, it's a *very* crazy idea. :p But, you know, you might actually be very surprised.
It probably has a higher chance of actually working when it comes with professors who openly embrace the blogosphere, like Sean Carroll.
Has anyone else tried this?

Side-note: one of my friends has Carroll as one of his Facebook friends and he usually posts some pretty funny replies to my friend's status updates.

My sister lets her students facebook her. Hilarity ensues when they make up excuses for late homework that conflict with facebook entries such as photos of their wild party.

Ugggghhhhh, I hate the word blogosphere. Why is it that an artificially delineated piece of the internet needs some special and ridiculous sounding term to describe it. A group of forums isn't referred to as the "forum scene", a collection of wikis isn't called the "wiki-space" and social networks aren't dubbed the "social web-er-verse".InquilineKea wrote:Yes, I know, it's a *very* crazy idea. :p But, you know, you might actually be very surprised.

Same here. As a result he always pops up in the "people you may know" section. So tempting!TheBeast wrote:
