It can be used against you? Whats your opinion?

Also be careful of what your friends post... don't want to get fired for that weekend in Vegas because your friend tagged a photo of you snorting a gram of blow off that hooker's chest.

I see people get tagged all the time in places that they have never been.

Just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true.

Employees need to be judged on their performance at work, not on their own time.

Very true but now most employers have "Ethical Standards" you must adhere to both on and off the job.

And this is where I begin to think we're on a downward slide... What you do at work is what you should be rated for, not what happens after hours- unless it interferes with your job... If you want to blow your paycheck on handles of vodka and go on a weekend bender with your unemployed friends from college as long as you make it to work on Monday on time ready to work how should that be used against you? I've never really done that, my friends all have jobs.

your membership here could be construed as being anti-government militant right wing extremism...


Just saying

Where IS that guy? It was so fun making him look silly...


Once anything electronic has been transferred to someone else, it's essentially public domain, out of your control. Remember that before you send pics of your naked keg stand to your buddies...

Employers? Screw em.
If there's something to be concerned about, its criminals using Facebook and the like to see that big screen TV and pics of you shooting all those guns, then to see when the house will be empty ("Going to the Avs game with Bill!" or "Man work is slow today"), and using map programs like Google Street View to case the property.

I don't understand why you would have to go online and blather all of your daily BS and this and that for ANYBODY to see. Sure we all do it on forums and such but we still temper it usually.
But what gets me is some of the stuff I have seen on my kids FB page and what his "friends" post: I slept with X, so and so is a slut, I got soooo drunk last weekend etc.
Just frickin stupid.
And the lawyer point-I know two people that have stuff bite them in the keester during divorces from post's on FB and Twitter.

I don't use any social networking sites. If I want my friends to know what I am doing I will call them.
That's also why I don't have many friends. I like it that way.

I'm just so glad I deleted my FB account long ago.

[jerrymrc]

Whats a facebook. In all honesty I did create a myspace account years ago that the family wanted. I never posted anything on it but down the road I starting thinking. Then Twitter and FB came out and I did think to myself. "how stupid can one be?"

The big thing that cracks me up is how people post on it all kinds of private details and pics then scream bloody murder when an employer uses it.

As has been said. Once you post anything on the internet no matter how sneaky you may think you are it is out there for all to see if they want to.

It seems to take my employer about a day to find everything out there with just a screen name. About the farthest I will go is saying that work was a pain today. (it actually was being end of year and all).
