Eek. Its so easy to get caught out on Facebook.

Joe Drumgoole invited me to join him on his regular technology slot on “The Right Hook” last Monday.
Good fun. I relayed a couple of tales illustrating some of the pretty unexpected ways innocent use of Facebook could end up biting you in the *ss.
These are not isolated incidents. There’s a story in the paper every day. In fact, as if to prove the point Darren from Putplace picked up this story on breaking news right after the show.
A winger with Crystal Palace, shared the fact that he was about to have a trial with Fulham with a select group of his friends via Facebook. Or so he thought. The details of the message could be seen by all 2.7m members of the site who have joined its London section. As a member of the London section himself he unwittingly broke the story to supporters of both clubs and to anyone else in the capital interested in reading candid transfer gossip.
