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?

No,
it's a good thing! If we're all socially isolated and spend all our time in front of the computer then there won't be so much resistance to becoming pure information when the singularity happens/when we rebuild our bodies as giant mecha. We'll look back on the social networks as the start of it all when we're crushing stars beneath our adamantium feet. Every cloud.
edit: looking back on that I'm not sure exactly *what* we'll be crushing stars against. Possibly other, larger stars. I can't wait anyway.
