Social networking: Schools struggle to balance openness with control
It is ancient history in Internet
terms, but when Facebook was
launched in 2004, only college
students could join.It opened up to
everybody in 2006, and now has
more than 400m users, half of whom
log in daily.
So along with the world's biggest
brands and celebrities, it is no
surprise to find that business schools
are joining the rush into social
media. Universities can use such
networks to keep in touch with their
alumni, fundraise, attract students or
even help them find jobs.
However, for most business schools,
the rise of Facebook and its more
corporate-minded cousin, LinkedIn,
also presents a dilemma. Many have
already invested in an internal
network for keeping in touch with
students and sharing course notes
securely. But college IT budgets
can't match the resources available
