Baby name finder
I must confess to never having used facebook (would I be visible to students?), but I'm certainly open to joining the 21st century if it's a way of being able to discuss work issues more openly than on MN

Academics - shall we set up a facebook group? |

Yes. Just set up privacy controls. I think you can register in different names but not 100% sure... If so, you can join with a MN name presumably if you want to remain anonymous. A group can be moderated by it's administrators so we will need to have someone (Kathy?) doing this and perhaps some way of confirming people are from MN? Or am I being too Moldieish cliquey here?
I'm up for it: let me know what to search for...
I will hold your hand 
.
It would be a great idea - even possibly some collaborations to get management off our backs!
OK I will try and work out how to do it - I am newish to FB too so will need to do a lot of learning first (but what with being on maternity leave etc rather than embroiled in the busiest term of the year, I am happy to have a go ).
I dont think it makes much difference. Possibly best to keep it secret just in case anyone reads our profiles, sees it and joins - and we have written awful things
We are all wandering around muttering 'Week 8. We've finished week 8'...
OK it now exists and is secret and has no members
If you want to join, send me a CAT with your FB id or your email (or post it on here if you have an email address you don't mind being visible). I don't think you can keep your identity separate from other group members unless you set up a whole new FB identity to use. Now I will go and set up a special email address just for this, which I will post on here for anyone who doesn't have CATs enabled.
Is it just you, or do we all have to be friends with each other as well? (I'm sure you're all lovely, but you know what I mean 
)
I think it's possible to have different privacy settings for different friends, so I could, for example, make it so that other CAWKers can't actually see any of my photos or get inundated with the trivia of my life...
Some details here:

Hi all
So far 2 people have been sent invitations to The Group and I've just sent out 2 more friend requests to people who have sent me their emails
This is very exciting.
Skiffler's link is great - it explains how to use the 'lists' function to do separate privacy settings, so you won't need to share anything you don't want to with strange CAWKers. Alternatively you can just use the 'hide' function so you don't get my domestic trivia cluttering up your space.
I don't think you will need to be friends with all the whole CAWK group, but we'll see.
btw Peppa I promise I am not your line manager
