Facebook not so fun when bosses, moms lurk

Excerpt:

Using Facebook to post crazy photos of yourself at a party is something you may want to rethink for a number of reasons, a new study shows. By Dasha Afanasieva, ReutersLONDON (Reuters) - Posting pictures of yourself plastered at a party and talking trash online with your Facebook friends may be more stress than it's worth now that your boss and mom want to see it all.  A survey from Edinburgh Business School released on Monday showed Facebook users are anxious that all those self-published sins may be coming home to roost with more than half of employers claiming to have used Facebook to weed out job candidates.  "Facebook used to be like a great party for all your friends where you can dance, drink and flirt," said Ben Marder, author of the report and fellow in marketing at the Business School.
