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?

My uncle signed up on Friends Reunited when it was all the rage...Only he was a bit worried about stalkers and suchlike, so he registered under a false name.
After a few weeks of wondering why none of his old friends had contacted him, he suddenly realised that they wouldn't know who he was, and changed his details so that they'd recognise him =)
As if that didn't make me laugh enough when he told me, once he'd changed his details he did actually get stalked! A woman who he'd vaguely known at school kept emailing and even phoning, telling him how she'd loved him since they were at school together (over 20 years ago), and that they should meet up for a drink. His protestations of "But I'm married and don't want to meet you" fell on deaf ears and eventually he had to block her phone number and change his email address.
