POSTING pictures of yourself plastered and talking trash online with your Facebook friends may be more stress than it's worth now that your boss and mom are online.
A survey from Edinburgh Business School released yesterday 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.
"But now with your Mom, Dad and boss there, the party becomes an anxious event full of potential social land mines."
On average, people are Facebook friends with seven different social circles, the report found, with real friends the most common.
More than four-fifths of users add extended family on Facebook, a similar number add siblings. Meanwhile, over 60 percent added their colleagues, despite the anxiety this may cause.
