Facebook/Twitter have caused more people to not get hired, so be put on leave, to be fired, and even arrested, than anything else I can think of.

My name is John Smith and I live at 777 Fake St. in Topeka Kansas and my phone number and email is xxxxxx..., first I'm going to tell you all how much I hate my boss and the company I work for, then I'll post a few sex pics of me holding an unregistered gun and some underage girl, then I'm going to tell you how I knocked over that liquor store that time and then...

People get themselves in trouble all the time on FB and Twitter. Even Celebs and Gov. officials do it. Some kind of mental break, where they don't realize that they are speaking to, potentially, everybody in the world.

I have had job interviewers react strangely when I told them I'm not on FB. They cock their head over like a dog, and squeak out...’really!?’ As if they can't believe it.

Nope. No FB for me. If I decide to go ‘public’, I will start my own ‘named’ blog. And I will be sure to keep in mind that everything is published under my actual name.

That creates a whole new dynamic as to what is said and what is discussed. A serious and powerful dynamic that not only do the FB’ers not understand, in many cases they have never even considered it.

I’m on facebook. It connects me to a number of authors and artists, which provides wonderful entertainment.

However, I hardly post anything myself. And I NEVER post anything about work.
