I enjoy Facebook, but I think it's important never to publish anything that you wouldn't be happy for everyone to know.
I think prospective employers probably do look at your page, so if you have 'shared' the fact that you are off your face six nights a week, don't be surprised if you fail to get the job!

Facebook a tool of big brother. Giving your employers an opportunity to spy on you. If you apply for a job your employer will check your facebook. Facebook heading for a massive fall. Facebook spying on people. Open a Facebook account and leave yourself wide open.

Remember that job you thought you had. Facebook !!!!

All those Facebook friends that you though you had. I don't think so.

Stick to AOL and eBay.
