Facebook

[Richard J Senghas]

A both/and solution may be useful.  While I don't use Facebook myself (at least, not yet), it is clear that a very large number of people do, especially among the populations likely to include potential Ph.D. students.  The broader the outreach, the greater the likelihood of finding the most suitable applicants, which in the end is better for all of us, no?

Best regards,

For me it isn't "easier", email is sent to me without me having to do anything, Facebook (and the others) require me to actively go to their website. It's push versus pull, in technical jargon. So it isn't easier because these things demand that I make a conscious decision rather than simply relying upon an automated system sending me messages.
