Sorry for not being clear, Chuck. Thanks for the correction. We set up a
page, not an account. I should know better about that terminology.
The annoying thing about the page is this: I uploaded a csv dump of our
entire student body's email addresses as an invite. Soon after I noticed
that it had attached a personal invite to my personal page. I've been
"unfriending" people ever since. I had clicked the button saying "use
facebook as WCU Technology Commons." I did everything I could, but it
still always attached a personal invite. It would have been nice if it
didn't send my personal invite out to 20,000 people.
