lecturers invited to facebook

This article discusses one particular problem, I use problem in the lightest possible sense: What do academics think of becoming 'friends' on a Facebook page when one has been invited from a student?

Some said absolutely not, and others said that it was useful to keep contact with alumni.

It would be interesting if the question was reposed, now, two years on. Would the answers be different? Would the responses still be split evenly between positive and negative?
