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?

I joined Facebookand then immediately regretted it. Loads of "friends" some of whom were actually friends, bombarded me with apps and quizzes and the usual shite. All i wanted was to be a virtual person based on the real me. Not a bad ask. I also told the truth about a/s/l. That's the worst mistake ever. You get dropped like Superman's kryptonite hot potato when you reveal you're not 18/male/London. I was 2 out of three of them once, but a long time ago. Actually I'm still 2/3 of them.
I'm now on LinkedIn where all anybody can say about me is how good I am at my job. Not a social thing, but it gets me loads of work. 40 recommendations and counting.

Applications suckYou get the occasional one which looks moderately interesting, but have to invite x number of 'friends' in order to access them.. Viral poo.
