to think that people don't think about the implications of the things they do on facebook?

[wannaBe]

It never ceases to amaze me really.

About a month ago a friend of mine joined a group on facebook relating to a medical condition she hadn't told any of her friends she has. She is a very private person, so I wouldn't have expected her to tell her friends about her medical history. but by joining this group she has inadvertently advertised the fact to everyone on her friend list.

And today I have noticed that another friend has joined a group, again relating to a medical condition, but this time wrt her unborn baby.

And on a lighter note, another friend posted on his status that he was going to take a sicky from work that day, am certain there are people who work with him on his friend list.

I just think that people forget who is looking when they (I think often unwittingly) expose their lives to the people they wouldn't expose them to in rl.

Depends on the privacy settings, not everyone hides everything or they have it open to their network and your boss is usually in the same network because they live in the same area.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

A while ago Friend A was peeved with me that I posted on a mutual friend's fb page that friend A was single. She didn't want her ex to possibly find out by becoming friends with the mutual friend and seeing the post etc. IAt the time I thought that this was unlikely and in any case so what if she's single and it referred to that point in time notto the whole period since they split up. Now she's finally joined fb and has put her status as single. I know that her ex can't see it but really I just find the whole thing irritating in the extreme. You can't keep your relationship status a secret imo.

I have a 'friend' who lives out every argument with her DP on FB!

My posts are very dull in comparison.

I am not in a network - you don't have to be

I know, I was just saying why someone's profile will be findable.

2shoes; I don't really see them from 1 year 2 next [no great loss] but I did remind her that she has a disabled cousin [nothin back yet...] but the way my SIL is unfortunatly it does'nt surprise me just makes me angry n sad TBH.I can't wait to 'announce' on my F/B how thrilled I am that I've just got a job as support worker with adults with SN ...WOOP WOOP!.
