Unlike facebook, it does not become too private – you are neither informed of relationship status nor of latest dinners. And all in one place – no need to navigate around complicated departmental websites that are designed to attract students, and not to link academics. The tree folder structure of departments is extremely helpful to see who is where. I just wish that it would be more complete, and that there was some way of deleting incorrect information. For instance, Leicester lists 2 departments, one for Archaeology, one for Archaeology and Ancient history. Clearly, this is rather silly – I have informed Academia per e-mail and will be curious to see if they fix it. But other than that, excellent. I can only echo Constantina – please join!
