All the big brand-names are just staggering over themselves to have a presence on facebook and take advantage of "social marketing" sites. They want to shill their product but a big thing they are after is harvesting all the information about people. I was at a seminar a few months ago and their was a web developer practically salivating at all the stuff they were going to be able to haul in just by making a facebook application. They believe this and are throwing real money at it. Somebody put up his hand and said "but people lie on facebook and the information is dubious at best" and the answer was "....umm, but this is going to be an awesome application" and started talking about something else.
Anyway, bla bla bla
If this kid just made a facebook page under the guise of Mr. Smith the math teacher as a lark then he probably shouldn't be charged. He must have done something though, and the possibilities are endless. Inappropriate suggestions to the girls (or boys), telling kids to eff off, asking for credit card numbers, bribery, blackmail, who knows.
