Yep, I know that and I'm very careful about what I put on. It is only in recent years I have had my actual name on my posts. That's my decision to do and since I married my married name is more common than maiden name so to match postings to me is harder as I use a bucket email address and even my website is a free based one. there are no personal details apart from that. If I wanted to be anonymous I could be on here. However on facebook I can very easily find things. There has been an ad campaign over here for sometime that shows a girl being sick into a toilet - the caption reads be careful what you put on social media sites as it may come back to haunt you. The text below the picture talks about prospective employers looking at your facebook site and seeing pictures like that - more employers over here are doing this.
