I hate the idea of facebook, even more so knowing of people that have made drunken comments about work on it resulting in them getting the sack. Thats one of the many reasons Ive never bothered with it. If I wasnt so paranoid Id probably join in the FB fun but its just not for me. |
I like facebook. There is an easy way to avoid drunken comments on FB. Dont post on it drunk. I don't. I don't come on here drunk either (wouldn't be very professional, what with me being a mod and all, I might be tempted to use my mod powers which would not be good).
I am aware of the potential problems of posting on facebook. A friend of mine was angry once, and posted a comment to the effect that his boss was a very rude word beginning with F and ending with Wit. Trouble is, he forgot that his boss's wife was a facebook friend of his, so got called in to see the boss the next day and explain himself. That's not say the boss's wife would have said anything. I don't think she would (I've known her for years). Someone did, however.
The moral of the story is you can use these sites quite safely, as long as you are careful what you post, and with any security settings offered by the site.
Indeed, in my case, Facebook is actually quite handy.
