Speaking of errors, two in five is 40 per cent. That’s 40 per cent of respondents would let their prospective employers see their Facebook profile.

I don’t know why but facebook never really attracted me to use it. And I really prefer to stay on my guards when giving any sensitive information about myself online.

Totally agree!

Hell, I got pics of me tanked on my Facebook page. But I own the company.

Proper context is stated at blog – maybe some selected editing, some begging but most of it will be done via privacy controls… when self managed. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of friends/colleagues and associated enemies.

@Brian – thanks for stopping by to clarify. I know from experience that the media takes the quotes that best fit their angel–I know I do it.

That said, if you did say “The days of getting drunk and getting all your pictures posted online, that’s gone.” That’s just plain inaccurate. Sorry dude.

Thanks Andy. The report is posted my corporate site. I posted clarification to what I said at my blog. While the is a net positive willingness, there is still substantial trepidation. However, we have noted, in general, there is an increasing trend for Facebook users to feel comfortable with sharing the content of their profile AND there is a large core group who never will.
