Personally, last month a scantily clad young woman confused me with her fiance, with whom I share a first and last name. I'm still not sure she's noticed, but she's going to be mortified when she does.
What's the biggest mistake you've made using a social networking site?

Sort of on-topic...I think joining Facebook was about the worst mistake I ever made ... yep, spent a few months on there enduring the minutae of every former friend's life ... tens of e-mails a day, pointless 'groups' which never achieved anything, tons and tons of viral apps to play with - well, maybe this belongs in Top Tips but I'm going to say it anyway. E-mail [email protected], request to be taken off Facebook and within days, the very nice people there will delete you from existence entirely.
I'm not sure what this proves, perhaps I AM an introverted social retard, but I've never looked back.
Apologies for lack of funny.
Facebook will eat your soul.

they won't delete you from existence though, will they?Wasn't there some big hoo-ha a while ago about how they don't erase your posting history, just your profile? Or have they changed their policy after pressure from the worried masses who forget that nothing gets forgotten on teh Interweb?

Nope, I officially do not exist.I e-mailed them asking to remove not just my profile, but all photos etc. No photos of me remain, but my posting history (e.g. on other's Walls) does ... but interestingly, on other people's photos, when my head is hovered over, nothing appears...
I feel like that bloke from the Bourne films. It's great.
