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?

The Sun and the Mailboth wrote such an article about a teenage boy a few years younger than me who killed himself. The article included completely inaccurate inferences from his social networking pages, as well as offensive and inaccurate speculation as to the motives behind his death. It's not in the public interest to publish any more than the facts of the incident, if that, and snooping social networks for personal details and pictures is certainly not newsworthy.
If you have any moral compass you should seriously consider paying more attention to it before printing that sort of stuff without the family having given consent to the media.
Reporters who behave like that are cunts.
