The students use the site to basically create an on-line sketchbook/e-folio. It's great for peer assessment, of course. The students are all asked to make sure their profiles are effectively empty, and that they mark their work as 'private'. This means only their peers and myself can access their work. This may be paranoia, but it seems to work okay. I also have a good relationship with the school network manager, so unblocking the site at our Grid ISP level has not been a problem. What is more of a hassle now is the sign-up process. Since they sold to Yahoo it's a lot more complex (plus the sign up process crashes the version of Safari on our OS X systems which we use in class. grrrr).
