there's probably only a handfull of those "friends" that actually care about what you're bitching about. and the ones that comment after your ranting post, are just nosey. |

| I saw a co worker (ex) post similar stuff about the dept itself. It was just wow. Don't know if it got to that point though, also don't think he added management on as a friend, hah. |

hehe I thought of this thread when I saw a local DJ write in the status "I wanna fire my website creator and I dont care if she reads thisssss!!"
haha I wonder if this person actually went through with it?
I personally dont have a huge opinion about it. people can share or not share as much info as they want, its their own choice. But they need to be aware of WHO has access to their info, and the possible consequences of what they write. |

how different must your online profile be from your real name/personality before it can not be legally linked to you in this way? |
It doesn't take much.
Log in once from work and there you go. |

something weird happened last week - my supevisor was talking to one of our new clients on the phone, when he asked her if she's on Facebook and if she's on the left on her FB profile pic (:wtf: )
he then told her he has some smart-ass script program that links his address book to their respecive FB/twitter accounts... thing is, she uses her maiden name on FB AND FB is completely blocked at work
anyhow, I was so weirded out by that.. plus it wasn't very professional of him to start asking questions about her profile pic lol |

as your boss, he may have admin privileges to bypass proxy restrictions.
as for address books with twitter/FB, anyone can do that...you can import your address books for FB to scrub and look for friends with those email addresses |

trust me, I'm the only one here aware of wonders of anonymous proxy sites :)
it was just bizarre how he asked her if she was on the left on her photo lol |

Even if that's true, it doesn't have to be an anonymous proxy. The internal corporate firewall/proxy could just as easily be set up with special exceptions for special staff (we make exceptions for IT staff and certain executives).
And yeah, it's a weird thing to ask, but that's what you get for having a public profile. If you don't want to get creeped, don't put your up for the whole world to see. |

I don't think it's that public - I mean we all have our profile photo showing to anyone who visits the profile, it's other things that are not available for viewing. Basically her profile to non-friends looks like this - name, profile picture and any mutual friends that me and her have. And she's under a different last name as well, so that makes it even more strange... |

you keep forgetting that he found her based on his contact list. ie. based on the same email address being used |

we thought of that - and no, her fb is under her personal hotmail.com account, and our work addy is obviously different lol
so does that program search by name only? for some reason I'm glad I'm not using my real name on FB! |
