It can be used against you? Whats your opinion?

Personally I've gotta go with the common sense rule on this one. My FB account has very few friends, who are actually real friends and two of them are people I work with.

My thought is this; if I wouldn't say it at work in front a customer or my owner then it isn't going on FB. Lately some of political views have started to end up on my wall as my frustration with "the man" grows. I've kept it in check enough not to piss anyone off.

It's the internet though. Once you put it out there, it will be forever and for anyone to use against you.

Definatly a good rule of thumb for FB and the like.
I post manly political stuff like the billboard pic I posted on here the other day or pics of the sunrises or sunsets etc from work. I love to piss off the liberals
that are on my friends list, but they know I do it for fun as they are mostly my family, cousins etc.

Any of you's in a bikini on FB would be grounds for defreinding.

Probably keeps you out of the dog house as well. Don't forget the crazy wives/girlfriends and the Ex's that use it against you

I hear you there. I try to not have girl friends be my fb friends either now just because of all the BS I have had to deal with in the past.

Healthy alternative...
Use a pseudonym- it's nearly impossible to find out who John Slartibartfast is in real life if he doesn't exist. Plus you should route your email, FB, and anything else that goes on the interwebz through several ghost servers so it looks like Slartibartfast lives in Bulgari- no Romani- now it's MOSCOW!? I have three different Emails I divulge to the public- Work, FB, my production company- then two I don't usually give out that are under a false name for things like... uh, looking at pictures and videos of... uh Guns! Yeah that's it, guns!

just gotta be smart about it, that's all. be aware of who you add, have good privacy settings, and don't be an idiot

I'm middle management in a large company with a big HR department and a strong social media presence. I tell all my direct reports that, like it or not, they are responsible for the things they say and do, and if they exercise poor judgment in a way that could reflect negatively on their employer, they should expect to be held to account for it. Electronic media seems to have a life of it's own and never really disappears. Act accordingly.
