I was reading msn news and found an article called : "Don't Drink and Drive, then post on Facebook", by Eric Tucker, Friday, July 18, 2008. Places like Facebook and MySpace have become places detectives, prosecutor's, as well as employers are gathering information on people. Photos as well as statements you post on Facebook, MySpace and other social sites can be used in a court of law, and by your employer as character references.
The article talks about teens drinking, partying and driving; then posting the photos of the drunken party's and unfortunate statements. These teens were in auto accidents and their comments online as well as the photos were used in court.
Yes Virginia, you have the freedom of speech, however anything you blog, or post online can be used against you by your employers as well as in a court of law.

If my blog doesn't get me in trouble with my employer, I don't think defending Isaac Asimov on the Facebook Science Fiction forum is going to have the cops-a-knocking :) It is pretty surprising what people do post out there in the great wide world, though. Tsk.
Enjoyable blog, RamblingAlong
