Today's Facebook lesson

Listen people. I get you want to be popular. I get it. Really. It's a carryover from high school. But seriously...put the lockdown on your profile. Just do it. Even if you feel you have nothing to hide.

Because you do.

Today I spent some time Facebook stalking some people who aren't on my Friends list. You know you do it too. Why a playa gotta hate? They're not on my Friends list for a reason. But getting inside access to their photos, wall posts, and their friends dumb comments allows me to get all Simon Cowell judge-y on them.

If the outside world could see my sh*t, it may not be a pleasant picture. I'm not always good about untagging myself from unflattering pictures. I post some dumb stuff that makes me look not too bright. People post stuff on my wall that's incredibly inappropriate for anyone to read, which in turn is a reflection upon me because I respond equally-inappropriately. I try to keep my stuff relatively kosher when it comes to photos now that I've got a kid and I'm (allegedly) a grownup, but sometimes...you just gotta let your balls hang loose.

So back to stalking.

I did plenty of eye-rolling and "oh my GAWD"ing at their FB pages. But most importantly, my judgement was cast upon them for not knowing how to change their privacy settings. Or choosing to ignore them. The last thing you want to be is judged because of your inability to modify a social networking site's security settings. Tsk tsk.
