Re: Facebook and Security Awareness

[Tracy Mitrano <tbm3 () CORNELL EDU>]

I use Facebook as a communications tool for policy announcements,  
Ben, and I think you make a good point in this threat that it can be  
used for other areas as well, including physical security.  (Usually  
I buy  "poster" which goes to the cornell.edu domain and is not  
expensive.)  In addition to mobile device communications means via  
text messaging, I think that this route is reaching students where  
they are when they are on line.
