Social Networking Gaffes
Freddy Woo writes, "My school bully just friended me on Facebook!" No doubt he pokes him, and then demands his lunch money.
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?

You do meet some interesting folk online
I did meet a really cool lady from Ohio (or somewhere similar). Unlike most net-dwellers she was actually extremely outdoors-y.
What with me being a librarian I do know a thing or two about researching societies, companies and whathave you, and this came in handy with her. She goes out fishing a lot, but what with fishing being a predominantly male pastime, she wanted to meet lady fisher..women. So off I go, searching for some kind of club for lady fisher...people. Sure enough, I find one called the Girl's American Fishing Society. I passed ont he details and she got in touch with them.
We lost touch for a while but about 4 months later she reappeared on my MSN. She couldn't thank me enough - the people were fantastic and she'd learnt all sorts of new fishing tips from her new friends. She even did a bit of work for them, working on their bi-annual newsletter. I was rather chuffed by this. So I'm telling this story to a friend of mine, to which is response was... "so?"
"So?" You cheeky git.
So she'll net, working G.A.F.S
Oh fuck off. In this world it's pun or be punned.
