Social Networking GaffesFreddy 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?

Way back in the hazy past......of 2002 or so, a friend and I made a website for people from our old school. The idea behind it was that we could all stay in contact with one another, without relying on the shite that was Friends Reunited.
Admittedly, it wasn't an excellent site, though it had promise. We had a few different schools signed up to it, in the end, divided by year group. Users could make their own groups, with individual forums; they could send messages, and upload their own photos, with comments.
In fact, fuck it, we'd made Facebook.
Of course, we were lazy bastards and didn't bother to keep working on it once the first implementation was there. We talked about it a couple of times in the pub, but never took it anywhere.
In hindsight:
Fuck.
