So many online resources

I have been surfing around the web during my extended illness and I have found no shortage of very cool internet sites that offer interesting services to teachers and students alike:

delicious: online bookmarking
glogster: interactive poster creation
animoto: slideshows (and you can apply for an education membership)
edmodo: kind of like facebook for the classroom
twitter: a great way to update others about classroom news or to receive great tips about education

I am curious to know if it's possible to use facebook for education without the friend thing happening. I don't want to be able to see student profiles, but since most of them are on facebook anyway, perhaps it could be used just to remind them about homework? Few seem to have a definitive answer for this question.
