the answer to your question is no, you silly girl.
All im sayin is these Internet outlets can only "document" what you allow them to have access to.
Its not apples to oranges. I've personally heard of people getting fired for FB/Twitter/Myspace activity. Regular people, with regular jobs.
Its just the ability to whoever is in power, whether they are the president of CNN or the owner of a pizza shop to spy on whoever they want for a price.
I just think these are things no one should be oblivious to.
And FYI I'm a grown woman. So you can fall back on that.
yea, i've had this discussion the past two times at work. my sup wants no part of any social networking... he also works for a militarycontractor though. my other coworker is the polar opposite, and doesn't think it matters either way. i'm in the middle, more on the side of caution. i don't really have much to hide on fb (tagged or untagged), but knowing you can get judged simply by association with certain people and their photos/posts/activities/etc. is both unavoidable and a damn shame. i pretty much locked everything down except for friendsto see (and not even all of them). plus, i duck cameras on the regular, only because ppl tend to take the worst picsOriginally Posted by starzinoureyes
if i drink/party on weekends, it's really none of my coworkers'/employers' concern. what i do on my private time is my business. granted one shouldn't be putting up compromising pictures in the first place, but i think it silly to have to censor one's self so as to not upset those that really have no say in what i should or shouldn't do.
one of the main reasons as to why i just said *!%! it all & deleted fb was due to the growing # of people registering, namely those that i work with. it was no longer a place to mess around with current friends & keep in touch with old ones. instead, people from my workplace (accepted their friend requests for the sake of not being thought of as a %!%$@) were making comments in real life as to what i was doing on weekends. it got to the point where i'd actually duck, hide my face or step out of pictures because i didn't want anything of my personal life being put on fb, which is exactly where it was headed. such precautions needn't be done for a damn socializing site. so opposed to putting myself through such a hassle, i ended the madness once & for all.
if they do in fact need to know who i really am, they'll do so under my conditions. not from a socializing site where my personal life can be open for interpretation by the viewer. (i.e. what's this? a picture of her playing beer pong? oh, she must be an alcoholic.)

If my company cared about what we did outside of work, they'd have to fire 90% of the employees. Because they know this, they don't care.Originally Posted by RL Treyce
No it isn't ridiculous.... Its key to finding out who you really are, not just what you put on mon-fri @ work.

and i applaud you for being a grown woman, i really do. but with questions like "is nt your diary, too?" being written in an obvious attempt to get some form of reaction out of me or other readers, i can't take you seriously.

I assisted my HR on the hiring process of these applicants and we had to google search them... oh the things you find on Google!
well out of the 12 applicants... only 11 made the cut. We found all 12 on Facebook.
And surprisingly, we had access to each and every one of their profiles except for 1 female (Younger & Wiser) of course... She set her profile to private and her pictures were set to private as well.
For the gentleman that didn't make the cut... it was due to what was on his Facebook. All the partying pics and pics of his body and the fact that he had an album dedicated to female body parts... we declined his application because our company is 95% female.
Key tip: go into your FB photo albums and set those to viewable by: "friends only"
