I was just talking to a teacher at a Jewish day school who’s got profiles in Facebook and MySpace. She says she learns more from her students profiles in five minutes than she otherwise would in five months.
A synagogue administrator was looking to hire someone to work with kids. She Googled the applicant, saw the raunchy stuff on his myspace, and decided against him.
I recently made the mistake of calling a young woman (about 22yo) "mam."
"I hate it when people call me ‘mam," she said. "People have only started calling me that in the past month."
