Fantastic

Is it facebook sponsoring it, or the Collegelax.us Fan Page that is sponsoring it?

Try it now.

Maybe I am the only person in the MCLA universe a little concerned about this. Most of the Husky players these past years are avid Facebookers, and while I have checked out the site a few times, there was always something a little troubling about it to me. But I couldn't quite get a handle on why I was uneasy about the site.

Finally, someone has written an in-depth article about Facebook itself, and in this the author verbalizes some of the issues which were nagging at me:

I'm not saying that this is all bad, by any means. And I'm certainly not advocating friends to avoid Facebook, either. I'm simply hoping to shed a little light -- and some common sense -- so everyone here in our lacrosse community will understand all the ramifications of posting a Facebook personal page and the loss of privacy that goes with it. The photos and the words you post on Facebook can indeed be used against you later in life, and you can't ever pull them down if you come to regret them afterwards.

I welcome discussion and comments about the issue here. In the immortal words of Woody Allen: Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean there's not someone out to get you."
