The Australian courts allowed a bank to serve legal documents via Facebook after a couple defaulted on their home loan.

I wonder if this will lead to other countries approving Facebook as an alternative method of service.
The Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court has approved the use of Facebook to serve legal documents to a couple who was otherwise inaccessible at their home or by e-mail, although the couple has since disappeared from the social networking site as well.
The unnamed Australian couple had defaulted on their home loan for AUS$100,000 (almost US$67,000), which spurred the bank to seek the services of Canberra-based law firm Meyer Vandenberg.
