Class of ‘70, VMI

I may have committed a tactical error, but, at the behest of my daughter, joined Facebook a while ago.  Although it was primarily for keeping up with her happenings in Seattle, I found (or was found) by several BRs.  Even our friendly neighborhood Class Agent showed up.

There is a VMI Alumni Network, that currently has about 2,500 members.  It appears you need a vmi.edu or vmialumni.org email address to join.  (You can get one of those at VMI Ranks as a “Lifelong Email”.)  I will try to add a VMI ‘70 group and see what happens.

Edit: I started a group “VMI ‘70″ — you can search for it or follow this link and join up.

I do recommend you look at the following article  “10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know” to ensure your information is shared only with the friends/groups that you want.  The defaults are a bit more open than I think is needed.

UPDATE: Just read an article about Facebook and viruses. If you receive a mail (supposedly from Facebook) about a video or other item that has been posted and wants to to follow some bizarre link that is not in Facebook (check the address), don’t go there. It’s a new, very nasty virus/trojan. See this link for more info: PCWorld Article: Facebook Virus Turns Your Computer into a Zombie.
