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?

In retrospect he should have known better.After a certain amount of persuasion I finally gave in and agreed to my brother's suggestion that joining Facebook would be a good idea.
(Clearly he had forgotten that I'm a socially awkward misanthrope with a Luddite streak and a tendency towards own goals.)
Anyway, I set up an account and a page and emailled him the linky. He took a look and promptly rang me back.
"Firstly, your profile pretty much says "I don't want to be here. Piss off and leave me alone, mutant internet people." Telling people your big ambition is to be God-Emperor isn't helping either"
Then he took a deep breath.
"And secondly, I asked you to join Facebook. You joined Faceparty. You know, the one aimed at 16 year old girls. Pillock."
