With more users than the population on the US (550 million users) Facebook is an amazing tool, but its ease of information sharing can cause some really awkward situations for its users. This morning, I woke up to a gentle reminder of Facebook’s power over my relationships.
My boyfriend and I have decided to spend Christmas together, apart from our families, and are planning a holiday trip to Panama. We’ll be meeting up with several friends and today, my mom found out about the trip through a friend’s Facebook post. Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal except I hadn’t had the chance to tell her about the trip. Now, I feel terribly guilty that I didn’t get to tell my mom properly that I’d be missing a family event.
If you have a personal or brand Facebook page, make sure you stay engaged with it. Monitor your connections and remember that they are tighter than ever. Anything you, or anyone else posts about you or your brand on Facebook is in the public domain.
Have you had any awkward situations thanks to Facebook? Share your stories in the comments; I’d love to hear from you.
