John Wrightman introduced the proposed law last month at the behest of the Nebraska Bar Association, and it’s the first such bill we know of

Students spend enough time on Facebook, so they might as well be able to pay their bills while they’re on the social network. That’s the thinking behind SmartClick, a payment interface that incorporates Facebook plugins to accomplish that task. SmartClick is the payment portal used by Campus Apartments , which manages more than 32,000 student housing slots at over 70 colleges in 24 states.

It has already been well documented that content in Facebook profiles can influence hiring managers and recruiters, often negatively, but can they use profiles on the social network to predict users’ success in academics and the working world? The results of a new study from Northern Illinois University, the University of Evansville, and Auburn University seemed to arrive at that conclusion, as researchers profiled a group of 274 Facebook users and a group of 244 college students. According to The Wall Street Journal , the researchers spent about 10 minutes looking at photos, wall posts, comments, education, and hobbies on each profile, and answering personality-related questions including whether the subject was dependable and whether he or she was emotionally stable. After six months, they compared their results with those submitted by the subjects’ supervisors.
