A former co-worker got fired for posting on FB about her kid's b-day pool party while she was playing hookie from work. Her boss had been trying to reach her (both work from home) and she wasn't picking up the Blackberry. Boss is on FB, saw her post and posted back, "Are you working today?" She was canned. True story.

The only thing worse than the meaningless, attention-whore posts are the constantly political ones. I have plenty of friends whose politics are opposite my own. If I cared about their political persuasion, they'd not be my friends. Some folks love to rant about politics on FB and will never change anyone's mind.
