Why would my life be better with FRIEND FACE??

Recently, a former work associate of mine, was telling me that she posted a comment on her Facebook page expressing her feelings relating to an incident that happened where she works. Her views never mentioned names, places or the Govt dept she works for. She was called to the bosses office and was told it may be in her best interests to remove what she had written. She removed it and claims never to use any social media again.

There is a place for social media, but I think what happens is that too many people put their whole life out there and have no idea of the possible repercussions.

I believe forums are in a different category, providing a vast array of info, support, and often resulting in the building friendships based on common interests. Nissanpatrol.com.au, a perfect example.

Yeah, most gov departments and companies have social media policies in place so employees don't post unapropriate crap about their workplace.

As far as the forum goes, it's not much different or even worse as there is no privacy or security settings like Facebook. Once posted on the forum its for everyone to see especially if the site is ranked highly. Look at Growler, he posts everything from having breakfast so cuddling ladyboys...its just wrong
As said before you can manipulate who sees what on Facebook

Ah now Kris that is a very interesting issue right there. Recently Naomi and I launched our new business and I started a thread here with the name of the business in the thread title and told everyone about it, that thread maybe ran out to 5 or 6 pages. Because this forum is ranked so highly google placed that thread Above our own brand new web site for weeks!!!! Crazy! I had to keep an eye on the thread to make sure it stayed on track as it was smashing google with a couple of key words in the title!!
