Whilst the likes of A&O may have initially tried to ban Facebook , it seems that some of the US firms are now seizing it as an opportunity to do some recruiting.
Fans of the site seem to have a mixed view of this exploitation – from ATL :
"Facebook just got a lot less cool, and a lot more LinkedIn. Watch out, for your firm may be coming to F-book soon.
The ABA Journal reports that Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle has launched a Facebook page to aid in its recruiting efforts:
Looking for a way to better promote itself to the next generation of lawyers, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle has launched a Facebook page as part of its broader law school recruiting efforts."We are pleased to be capitalizing on the popularity of the most widely used social networking site," Nancy Delaney, a Curtis partner who is a member of the firm’s personnel committee, says in a release (PDF) about the page. "As a Firm, we recognized the power of this format of communication and the wide use being made of it by future lawyers."
Their page has 55 fans at the moment."

i couln’t care less, what do people think Facebook is anyway, it’s hardly a charity, its founder is probably drinking margaritas on a beach whilst wondering if he should buy New Orleans on the cheap when it is trashed by another hurricane
