This is a question 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?

Beware clients on Facebook
So I "friended" a client, who I provide with consultancy services related to branding.

And then I was doing research on them, and visited pages which ranted about them. And then joined the group, because some of the Guardian-addled ill-educated drivel some of the buggers were coming up with pissed me off, and I had to join to respond with my SWORD OF JUSTICE AND SHIELD OF LOGIC.

Sadly, this was nothing compared to how pissed off my client was when they got a "Prince Igor has joined ......." update in their newsfeed.

Oh, and any pseudo-intellectual self-righteous cunts who like to look down on people who are "DIFFRUNT" and like to do things they don't, please find a very very tall building, go to the top, and then stab yourself repeatedly with a coathanger. It'll be the most interesting thing you ever do. Remember kids, Noam Chomsky is a loon, and Johann Hari should only be read for amusement.

Not yet....
... to be frank wrote the above post in an odd mood, but won't edit as that's cheating.

I'm not a fan of the Chomsky at the best of times, but my tirade was not really directed at him. It was directed at the people who act all superior whenever social networking is mentioned as they don't do it because they're too cool. And most of said people read the Guardian. And Chomsky. And believe both a little too uncritically.

(Chomsky = undoubtedly clever chap, which is why he irritates me. Like Dawkins, makes some logical leaps which he must know are not justified)

Chomsky debate always entertaining
But probably best avoided. Rest assured a very close friend has been arguing your corner very cogently for 10 years...(1st in history from Cambridge - him, not me)
