14 From Cornell University, Policy Office, “Thoughts on Facebook” THOUGHT: Think about not only your marketability today as a cool guy or girl in your college social circle, but who you might want to be in five or ten years when posting an "identity" on the Internet. Remember, just because it is a new technology does not absolve you of the responsibility to use it in legal and appropriate ways — including taking into account your obligations regarding proper conduct as a citizen of the university.

15 One response to a friend invitation I sent: “No, thanks! You ARE my friend, but I don't want to be in anyone's facebook! … I registered with no information so I could check on candidates for jobs here.” This friend relented and has begun accepting requests for Facebook Friendships.
