I understand the whole keeping up with friends thing I do it too. However I feel like relationship Darwinism is being fucked with, those relatioships need to die. Besides my Facebook friends get married and I find out through their status. I'm not friends with them anymore I'm friends with their Facebook profile. The best thing about Facebook are groups.

My personal favorites:

Stevie Ray Vaughan sucessfully melted my face!
I'd rather spoon my ear canal out of my skull then listen to Kid Rock!
Chris Sabo died for our sins.
My friends are getting married I'm just getting drunk.
Before Chuck Norris goes to bed, he checks the closet for Christopher Walken.
If God is real, then he is Eric Clapton

Eh, I have friends that I still talk to regularly over the phone, and they visit every once in awhile. I don't want to lose touch with them, and it's a decent way for them to keep up with the whole group at once. Post pics of kids and such.

My status is "...thirsty as a sponge in the Desert"

absolutely! Just had an interview yesterday thanks to a professor recommending my account on LinkedIn. First thing they did was give me a laptop and had me pull up my facebook account...

Luckily my old status of " ... is wondering if Hines Ward is still a member of the Vietcong..." was removed the day before.:wink2:

wait a minute... you went into an interview and they made you pull up your facebook page? that seems waaaaay over the line to me. that's like an employer asking you to bring in a photo album to the interview. they have no right to ask you to do that. now, if you have it open to the public then they can, and should, look at it.

It is actually becoming more common... I wont drop the name of the company other than that it is not in Columbus (Really narrowed it down for ya there). Basically, they want to make sure there was nothing explicit of you online that would come up later.

My buddy was asked the same thing, and he said that he didn't have one... The HR guy typed in his name, and his profile with him bonging a beer in a picture came up. He was 20... The interview ended there.

That's all kinds of bullshit.

Who cares how the interview went, you drank underage!!!

With that logic, nearly everybody would not have been hired.

you should have told them no. its not public for a reason. that's only for my friends and I to see. that article you posted is a different animal altogether. those peoples profiles are public. as i said before, that is their own fault. in my eyes, what they did to you is like saying, lets go for a ride to your house. i want to see how you keep your bedroom. its just over the line.
