You can now get served through Facebook
Facebook is now entering every facet of life. You can recieve update across a slew of your favorite websites. Alert your friends that you just ordered wings and a pizza from pizza hut. Now you may have a new message alerting you to your court summons next week.
Usually the courts are the last to use new technologies but Facebook may be a new way for lawyers to server you a court summons. In Australia a court allowed a mortgage lender to server legal documents through Facebook after a client defaulted on the loan. In 2006 a Connecticut court used Facebook as a viable means to locate the location of an individual. Also in 2006 meail was used in sending legal documents after having no other way to contact the indivdual.
Facebook hasn't been used yet but it very well could be. Also look for the IRS, and tax collection agencies to follow suit. So make sure you keep an I on your facebook profile, your next message may tell you your getting audited, or someone is sueing you.
