MySpace & Facebook are not my cup of tea. However, during the January Brisbane floods in 2011 the Qld Police Force Facebook page was certainly used as an uptodate website for flooded suburbs & roads. The article 7 things you should know about Facebook has some ideas that might be useful & others that caution its use/s in education.
A website for profesional development http://www.linkedin.com/ has some advanced features that allow exchange of discussion between professional people & as such would be useful for ongoing teacher PD. It has 100 milion members- small compared to Facebook.
No graphics still but will update later, if possible.
A very interesting article. Thanks for adding this for others to read & consider.
