Social Networking: When Daddy Realizes His Princess Is A Whore
With social networking and social media sites being all the rage these days, there are bound to be snafus from time-to-time. Who knew that they're potential employer would be searching for your MySpace profile before offering the job? I wasn't even sure that my mom knew what Twitter was, much less how to follow the RSS feed in Outlook, until a recent incident. And when I got an email from a friend asking why in the world I was bouncing between listening to the Wicked Broadway Cast Soundtrack and various Muse albums, I finally stopped to think: maybe I should uninstall that Last.fm widget from MySpace and Facebook. And then I thought maybe we're all just too connected?
I have to imagine that we've all had at least one embarrassing story about social networking. A picture that you "don't remember" being posted on a friend's page, a blog comment that you meant to set to private, an unintentional "outing" of or by a friend... I've seen just about all of them. I'm know we're not going to give up on social networking any time soon. It's kind of our thing now. Free love has turned to free, on-demand information and connection. But what I want to know is: What embarrassing Social Media snafu have you suffered? Personally, my screw-ups could fill an entire series of posts, but I want to hear about your missteps!
Leave a comment and spill the beans!

Within one hour of its unboxing, The One became the undisputed ruler of Tiny's entire home. Buy this or despair.
I once posted a huge picture of my cock as my profile picture on Facebook and then my boss found it and we TOTALLY made out.
Yeah, I was pretty much outed to my ENTIRE Family(with the exception of my Mother and siblings. They already knew) because my 12 year old (second) cousin saw on my myspace that I'm gay.
She asked her Mom, My cousin, who asked her Mom, my Aunt, who asked her Mom, my Grandmother, who asked my Sister who told my Mom, who told me.
For the next week I got phone calls from pretty much every member of my family telling me that it's okay that I`m gay and they accept me and still love me. It was nice, don't get me wrong, but it got kinda old.
What was really fun was when I was working at Denny's and a random customer knew who I was cause he had seen my myspace. THAT was embarrassing.
