You know it has.
You have seen it happen.
It probably happened to you.
There is no denying that facebook, myspace, linked in, blogs are ruining relationships. You are basically cyber-relationship screwed. Facebook has destroyed serious relationships for many close friends of mine. How you ask? (or this might have already happened to you!)
Well let's start with the stalker wall feed that they have. Everyone, regardless of if you want them to know or not, can see everything that you do on facebook in their wall feed, without even having to blink their eyes, it appears before them. So if you boyfriend is friends with you on facebook and some guy you hooked up with before him hits you up on facebook before you have a chance to delete the wall post, the BOYFRIEND is going to see it because facebook wants you to break up! And now what sort of problems does that bring to your relationship?
guy-"Why is that guy hitting you up on facebook?"
girl- We dont even talk anymore, I dont know!
guy- You must have written something on his wall or sent him a message, show me his wall!
girl- I am not showing you his wall! That is ridiculous, I dont know why he contacted me!
Ending: Big huge fight.

And that goes both ways. It very well happens as women, we tend to get jealous of other girls, especially on someone we are datings facebook or myspace page. If you aren't necessarily friends with them, you wonder why they are writing to your boyfriend "just wanted to say hi!". Although the boyfriend cannot control this, you still get angry and fight it out until he either A)removes her from his facebook and blocks all contact with her B) you send her a message on facebook telling her to stay the F away from him, or C) Break up because you will never move past this point in your relationship again.
The worst part after the wall writing would be the tagging of the photos. This is the danger zone and sometimes when people tag you, they don't even realize that they just planted a bomb right in the middle of your relationship that is just ticking waiting for the other to see this said tagged picture.

This picture, could be you doing absolutely nothing, but if you are in another picture with the opposite sex and it is not your BEST friend, prepare for some sort of jealousy. Granted not everyone is as jealous as others but it is still not the favored topic of conversation.
Now take for instance how the internet has changed dating people you have never met. With the help of Match.com, Eharmony.com, Jdate.com; you can see what people look like and know everything about them even before you meet them!
I mean, blind dating? I don't think so!!! If you don't have a facebook, myspace, twitter, blog or something.. basically you don't exist. Then you check to see if you can see anything on their page, and if not, you try another network. It is a crazy, easily informed era we have going on here. And I am most definitely a huge part of it.
Even when I am looking for employers I facebook the company to see if anyone actually does work there or not. That's usually how I know if I should even bother to consider applying completely for the position. And then LinkedIn? PAH.... Before going on a job interview, you can linkedin & facebook stalk the employees of who you're meeting with and know where they worked, where they graduated from college and what they do at their job even before you meet them! It is sort of crazy if you think about it.
So lastly (because I could go on for hours about how many of my friends relationships have had drama due to facebook!), you take our blogs. This is the place where you can write whatever you want and you can pick and choose who you want to read the material (telling your friends or people you know). I have chosen to tell only a select few due to the fact that I still need to write about things that are happening in my life and I can't write about the people who are READING my blog!!! An example-- my ex-boyfriend, T, (you can read ALL about him HERE) he never knew that I had a blog. Granted we were on the outs and that was the only way that I could write about how I was really feeling, but oh my god, if he ever read how I really felt, he would have had a heart attack.
I love social networking, really. I don't even know how we communicated with people.. I guess beepers were the "text messages" of the 90s and AIM was the google chat of the 90s. But facebook? AOL profiles had NOTHING on facebook!
Even though it has ruined our lives, ruined our friendships, our relationships and ruined our privacy, millions of people still continue to love social networking every single day. And as we love it more and more... the internet is determined to keep ruining our relationships, every wall update at a time.
Thanks love!

How do you guys feel? For me, I'm thinking of unlinking my blog and my FB. I have a mild to moderate panic attack when a guy I'm just starting to get to know finds my blog, and I stress over the things guys write on my FB wall. She's right! There is NO such thing as blind dating anymore! It's like the email I just sent her telling her I was about to post-
"Hey honey, going to post early. Going out with a guy I can't blog about tonight." :)

facebook sounds exhausting!
This is one that we all need to read. Seriously.
Last March, I took the plunge and deleted my facebook account. You'd think I told every one of my friends "f* you" with the way some reacted. I wanted to "clean up" my Internet life and that was a huge part of it. I don't have linkedin so there is nothing online with my name attached to it that I don't want to be seen.
It's freeing.
The next time someone tells me to come back to Facebook so they can talk, I think I'll tell them to just text me. Or, heaven forbid, actually pick up a phone and call me.
Sigh.
The current girlfriend does not know about the blog and I kind of intend to keep it that way. Not being able to rant about the ex because she knew about it was kind of horrible.
Hooray for quasi-anonymity.
Sorry for the mini-novel.
This post could not be more true. Also, anyone else having a mini anxiety attack with family now joining in on facebook. Cause I sure am!
my-life-in-style.blogspot.com
Oh lord, the Facebook PIC TAG! I hate the picture tagging action. I hate that it feels the need to post itself all over the place so everyone & their dog is aware of the action. Wonderful post - all of it perfectly spot on & true! I actually keep my blog & FB quite separate for fear of non-real life friends/bloggers thinking I'm crazy. Ha!
so....SO true. freaking facebook.
I actually don't go on facebook anymore because I don't want to see what my ex is doing. It hurts me to see the tagged pictures, all girls wanting to talk to him, all the things he's doing. Facebook made me see that the guy I was dating was actually in a relationship with someone else. On myspace I was upset once cuz a guy I was dating for a few months wouldn't put me on his top 8 when there were 8 girls on it. Lets just say it wasn't a suprise when he called me the wrong name.
I would love people to pick up the phone to me or i'll even take a text. sigh.
I understand this post all too well. I hope everything is okay with you girl. I really do. *Hugs*
my manfriend and i both do not have facebook accounts for this reason. (i did, but he was insecure about it, i got rid of it-he is more important to me than fb). however, he does not know i have a blog. i just want it to be *my* space, ya know?
Oh my lerd - SO TRUE!
I absolutely love Facebook and my profile is super super private due to the fact that I am a teacher. BUT - I made the mistake of choosing to be friends with co-workers and my FB was linked to my blog, and now they read it all of the time. And I get SOOOO embarrassed. UGH.
I find it rather ironic that in our effort to make our lives easier through using FB, Twitter etc. we're really doing little more than imprisoning ourselves.
The more tools we use to reach out to others, the less freedom we have in which to do it. There's always worry about who may read about us, linked through places we'd never expect. None of us are truly free to write as we wish, at least not without consequence. Sometimes devastating.
I agree these blogs are no different. You could make a comment about a Mr. X in your life on a site that's the fifth one you've linked to, and you're guaranteed no more privacy than if you've made that comment directly to Mr. X's mother.
In the same way that e-mail has killed off the written letter, I feel that chat over the internet (FB, Twitter et al) is to an extent killing off the art of face-to-face communication, and most definitely the telephone.
I'm not one for paranoia, but I do fear that too much electronic communication will impact social interaction in a very significant way for future generations. We're already seeing it now.
And don't even get me started on how texting is killing off the English language.
Damn, I hope I don't sound like someone's grandfather. lol
B ♥
I so agree, this is hazardous and I have been there... I should unlink my blog and fb too... Although I kinda look at it as if Im saying something mean about someone or something... then there must be a reason therefore, they should see it, haha but thats the bitch in me!
good post.
Oh yeah, it's getting out of control. I've now deleted my facebook account and am very choosey who I let know about the blog, even though I don't use my real name and I rarely talk about my life. xxx
Hit the nail on the head!!
I just posted a huge rant about intenet dating sites.
What is communication becoming?!!! Seriously...i'm scared everytime i open my laptop.
you're absolutely right. altho most of my problems were with myspace, rather than facebook (since facebook is more difficult to hack into or meet people you don't know) I see myspace as sort of a dating site, where people are posting naughty photos and vamping their profiles to show off. where as facebook, to me, is just a networking between friends and fam. i don't do the games and apps and what not.
I totally agree with this. I've had many relationships affected and ultimately ruined b/c of myspace/facebook not only with guys but with family members over pictures that were posted. It's really ridiculous when you think about it. But back in my younger, crazy years i.e. 3-4 years ago I would totally get pissed at a guy over his myspace page/friends/postings. Sad but true.
On the other hand if it weren't for the Internet I would never have met Kristian...so it's not ALL bad.
this post is frickin fabulous! lol
mashaAllah mashaAllah fb hasn't ruined anything for me yet. I just hope I didn't jinx that by saying it out loud.
BUT...i totally know of the "why is she writing on his wall?","what made her think of him","what is this inside joke between them that I don't know about" that creeps up in our minds when we read their walls!
Fabulous post.
Btw, you mentioned you're going through a rough time. Everything okay honey? Sending lots of love your way! Lemme know if you need anything.
To put it bluntly... I'm a facebook whore. (not 'whore' as in the girl that tags and hits on other people's dudes... you know, the other kind of whore.)
I feel completely unconnected to the world if I don't check it daily. It's terrible.
My blog is semi-private. I don't don't put my blog link on my profiles, my real name isn't attached to my blog, etc. I don't know how 'private' that actually makes it, but the only 'real life' friends that read it do so because I let them know about it...
geesh. just talking about this stuff makes my head spin.
Oh believe me, I thank my lucky stars daily that my husband has zero internet presence and zero interest in any internet-based social networking. I can't tell you how many discussions I've had with girlfriends and guyfriends regarding friending and defriending exes, comments, etc...
To be honest, you have to learn to be aware of what you're putting out there. Act like a celeb and guard your privacy dearly. Facebook has functionality out there to turn on/off every setting basically on your profile for any odd person you like. You only output what you want on LinkedIn and you can make your profile unpublishable. Just b/c you blog doesn't mean you have to post up pictures or put links to it everywhere. Seriously people, it's 90% your own fault if bad stuff happens to you on a social network, so get informed!
Reason number 453,593 why S and I both got rid of our facebook. I nearly died when he found my blog, but I am sure that everything I write now is either something he has heard before, or I don't mind him reading. (I am almost 100% sure he hasn't come back to look at the blog after the initial reading).
The internet is dannnngggguuurrrrrr!
I still don't get FB.
ahhhhh. darn internet. and i hate when other people tag my pictures, yo!
scary! i just started blogging, but i don't like how my facebook and my blog are connected.
for now, it helps let everyone know i started...but it creeps me out that everything is linked back to each other! ...great post!

check out my site if you get a chance! it's all about fashion and the entertainment industry:

I agree, facebook does ruin everything! But sometimes theres a good side to it..we just have to dig deep, really really..ok maybe there isnt a good side at all.
I also didn;t link my facebook & blog for the simple reason of having ex bfs, people I went to high school with, and just nosey people as friends on my facebook.
Great guest post!
My goodness....young people these days and they're technology.
It's not like it used to be back in my day.
;-)
I can spell their...just like to mix things up.
oh my goodness! I could never have my blog linked to my facebook. It's bad enough that a couple real life friends follow my blog Twitter. Not that I use it or anything. I've never had an issue with it, but I'm paranoid all the same.
Good post! The whole interconnected social media things creeps me out! I think that Liz is my only friend on FB from blogger! Ha!
I keep my personal life and my blog life as separate as I can. There's some overlap, of course...my friends know about my blog. And anyone I'm dating finds out fairly quickly. But I'm not too keen on people I don't know being able to find out my given name, where I work, my weekend plans, etc. etc.
Also, you're moving to Wordpress? Do tell!
Oh, and I got an e-mail from the emompreneurs people. Plan on signing up over the weekend. Thanks for checking up on that. :-)
Someone recently let me know of a privacy setting where you can prevent people from tagging you in a photo publicly and only let it be seen after you've inspected it. Check that out!
And Facebook is a bitch even with ex-friends, forget BFs/GFs. I can't even imagine that.
I would never be doing FB (or Twitter or the blog) if not for my business. I can't imagine what would motivate me otherwise.
P.S. on Facebook make sure your privacy setting is NOT "friends of friends." Thanks to that setting, I've enjoyed seeing some ex-friends' whore-ish pot-addicted teen daughter post photos of herself smoking pot, talking about pot, drinking, talking about throwing up from her hangover, talking about smoking weed to take the edge off her hangover, talking about her mom shutting off her phone and then talking about how she sneaked onto her mom's computer and turned the phone service back on. I LOVE this because it couldn't happen to more delightful people. Nice to see that her parents are getting everything they deserve!!!!! AND...a great reminder to have your privacy settings on FRIENDS only if you're applying to colleges while posting about drugs!
God, some people are dumb.
sad but quite true...not into too much social media thingies~ scary*
xo
I'm not on Facebook, Twitter or Myspace. I do have a linkedin profile which isn't associated with my blog in any way, but to be honest I hardly use that either. I deliberately chose not to use FB, because I just can't deal with the drama and I really don't want every person on the planet to find me there. I also don't think I'd have the time or energy to really use it.
There's a reason I don't use my name on the blog and even if all my friends and family know and read my blog, I do find privacy very sacred... especially in this day and age where everyone's business is aired to the public. There are ways to use social media to your advantage, but I think most people completely miss the point and go overboard with them. Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather email, text, call or meet my friends instead of communicating with them via some platform. Maybe that's why all my friends have remained loyal to me for such a long time and I maintain a very happy relationship.
Wow, it's been really interesting reading the discussion that this post generated. As far as I'm concerned, I only put up things I'd be comfortable with everybody seeing because I assume that no matter how private I make my settings, information leaks are bound to happen. I think being thoughtful about what I'm putting out there on Facebook, Twitter, and my blog has saved me a lot of headaches.
The boy knows I blog and I've asked him in detail whether he minds me mentioning him, posting pictures of him, etc.
amazing! and so true! I did know my ex-boyfriends relationship ended before his now ex-girlfriend did (she has no facebook- how stupid!) even we never talk or write messages, but I could read everything a girl (he even betrayed me with her) was hitting on him at his wall, so it was just a matter of time!
Sometimes I really think I should delete my facebook account but I'm addicted to it otherwise! I just told a few people about my blog and I have 3 groups of friends at facebook and only my lovely ones can read my status, links etc...
Loved this post so much! Thank you and good luck on your date!
This is all so eerily true and its kinda scary how accessible everyone is these days. That's why I hate the phone. Hate it. I feel like people can find me and communicate at any time, so I avoid speaking on the phone like the plague. My husband has one of those thirsty bitches on his facebook and I want to punch her in the neck.
Oh my gosh - this is SO. TRUE. It's like you can't escape from anything or anyone anymore! It's a little bit awful, yet everybody (yes - myself mostly included) seems to love it all unconditionally...
First of all, Liz: I love you. Just in case you had forgotten. And I am so happy to see that you aren't going anywhere! ;)
Now on to this ever so fabulous post. Oh my gosh. So freaking true. I had a boyfriend's ex start a bunch of facebook drama when we first started dating, and I was like seriously?! You want to confront me on where? Facebook?! Wow. Are we 12?! I mean she was seriously borderline stalking us. Sooo crazy how much information is available on facebook or blogger or twitter or whatever! I seriously took like everything off of my facebook profile for fear that it may be used against me at a later date! :)
i don't link my blog to my facebook at all. i feel like my blog is my own thing and i don't really want ex's or ex-friends reading all about it. privacy is dated. let us know what you decide to do! great guest post everyone! xo
I haven't linked to my FB account and none of my friends IRL know about my blog. It makes me feel more secure in writing whatever I feel without having to censor myself.
I'm in the minority I guess because the internet GAVE me my relationship! (Match.com, baby!) And the hubs doesn't have any interest in FB or MS so there's never been any drama over that. He doesn't get why I blog but it doesn't bother him at all thankfully.
Fab post!
FB can be a deal breaker in so many cases!
But I like when a guy I'm dating finds my blog ~ I feel it really gives him a sense of what I'm all about!
xoxox,
CC
I could not agree more. Not only are relationships ruined but you cannot escape them once they end! You have to remove photos...they're blowing up your feed...it's exhausting.
Dating was soooo much easier before the internet got in the way.
Interesting post. I was completely honest with my boyfriend when we started dating - I told him about my facebook, blog, and twitter. I know he reads them (except twitter) and he asks me if there's a person he doesn't know. I think open, honest communication is the key to avoiding these type of problems.
But then again, if I'm going to complain about someone I do it via text message to a friend - not over the internet for the world to read.
love this-you are v intuitive xo
hi bestie. Love you.
I want to do a guest post.
smiles and hearts.
MODG
I have a love/hate relationship with facebook.
I too have been thinking of unlinking my blog from my FB page. But I still haven't. It's just something that I'm not sure if I would want almost 400 people that I know IRL to be able to find and read at anytime. But then again I think, how many of them actually even look at my FB page info and see I have a blog? Probably only a handful. So oh well. In other words, I'm lazy. :)
xoxo
Facebook is pretty much the devil for sure!! I stopped using it when my my mom, in-laws and everyone else hopped on the bandwagon. Right now I only stick to Twitter and blogging, but even then you're not 100% safe! I try to keep my blogging under wraps, but even then someone might get wind of it. What to do??? :o)
So true...great post!
Soooooo true!!! You nailed it! Perfect post!!
I could not agree more... FB tagging, comments and such can bite me. Not to mention all the time you spend mindlessly surfing that crap, when you could actually do something fun with your BF instead.
Agree 100%. I date a guy for more than 2 years and 80% cause that we fought is either facebook, my blog,or twitter. :/
loved this blog post. i remember last year in march one of my closet friends formally ended our relationship because i left comments on his blog and in his facebook albums. innocuous comments like "i've been to that castle!" or "here's why i disagree with your blog post..." but his gf was too jealous and insecure and made him 'end things' with me.
ah facebook.
as much as i love it, it can stir up a lot of drama
Loved the post. I have anxiety about people finding my blog- Not strangers like other bloggers- ha, I WANT them to find my blog. I just dont want MOST of my family or MOST of the people I know in real life to find it! :) Is that weird? I do not have my blog listed on my FB because I let too many Accept too many acquaintances (Not just good friends) be my friends on FB…and I do not want them to my know about stuff I blog about. Haha. If that makes any sense at all. I set a FB account up for my husband I think before we got married, and he rarely goes on it. I think I check out his page more than he does to see who finds him. Then, I am all like, “Who is that?” How do you know that girl? Did you used to date her? Etc. Crazy I am. Just crazy. I do not get jealous- I am just super nosy, or inquisitive! :))
It is kind of scary the way everything has become so interconnected!
We live in an exhausting world. Everything is internet related and we have no idea anymore how to live outside that box. Even if, we can't really draw the line. I tend to ignore anything written on facebook. It's somewhat good to stay in touch or so, but that's about it. Friends get mad at me for not joining a group. I don't care anymore. I'm that mean. LOL...but seriously, why would they get mad?! It's just some freakin' online group. It's not gonna change things. And I've heard stories about how people broke up because of one innocent picture on fb. Taken almost over a decade ago and still...the relationship was ruined. It's just so exhausting!!! :(
Still, have a fabulous day! xoxo
Love it. Especially because I met my boyfriend on Twitter (yes, people can meet on Twitter and date---I know, it is very weird. And I hearts your writing. I will be back (to the author and blog owner, both of yas)
There's such a lack of privacy in the world of Facebook; yet you feel completely out of the loop if you don't have one. Honestly, in a way I wish boys I was "interested" in wouldn't even have them; it just creates unnecessary insecurities. And is it just me, or is it the most obnoxious thing ever when someone leaves you a comment, and then someone who is COMPLETELY not a part of the conversation joins in?! Tres frustrating!!
Love, love, love this guest post!! :)
I can see the truth in this, but I think the key is to be honest. If your S.O. is surprised by something on FB, then maybe you aren't being honest with them? Sure, I'll sometimes feel a tinge of jealousy when I see a girl I don't know saying hi to my man on his FB wall, but I believe he's honest with me and loyal to me, so I stop being jealous. I hope he's the same way.
It does kinda test how secure you are in your relationship, so I guess there is a flip-side to the concept of social sites being rampant relationship murderers. Its also shitty when someone flat out DUMPS YOU on Facebook, like what happened to one of my friends recently. It allows for people to have no balls.

This is one very insightful post. I've come to realize the same thing but being that I'm now single, there's nothing that can bother me any more about it. However, I am very honest with whomever i meet and when I mention my blog, and if they want to read it I forwarn them that it's not the wisest thing to do due to my lack of decency in its content. On facebook I try to keep things private from certain people and definitely no management from work are on my FB page.
Some months ago I was helping someone from work interviewing people for a job opening here and when I received their resumes beforehand, i went to every single networking site there is and found out some very interesting things about some of them and rest assure, that affected the decision of getting them hired.
yeah it's crazy how much information is out there. Kinda scary!
LOL!
I do not have to tell you how I feel about this since you already know the BULLSHIT that happened to me via networked blogs..WTF!!
And I still cant delete that damn thing!
Hmmmm. I don't have that problem, cuz I've been single for freaking far too long and no one wants to look me up. Rawr!
oh this is totally how i feel about facebook! it can get sooo messy! haha, i loved this post though, it totally made me giggle because i can relate!
so so so so SOOO true. It actually just happened to me LAST WEEK. Thank God, I'm thousands of miles away from this guy (an ex), because the wall he wrote me was on the obscene/vulgar/TMI side. I just showed my bf, before anybody else showed him or told him, we laughed, and I erased it.
But it is true. It definitely screws up relationships.
Filters people, filters. Yep, people have to learn how to use social networks and not just put all their business for the world to see.
LOL these are hilarious.. and so true... thanks for reading my story :)
I've never done the FB thing, precisely because I don't want to be found by anyone who I don't still talk to. I'm mean like that. Sometimes :)
I know it's hard, but I deleted my account. And, surprisingly, not only am I way HAPPIER (since I do the online dating thing), I'm not missing it. Not even a little bit. I've always been the type to say if I am friends with you and want to stay in touch, I'll CALL YOU. Or text message or e-mail if you live super-far and I can't afford the long distance. Crackbook is great if you want to share pictures, but really? All that stalking is actually stalking! Would you ever drive by someone's house twenty times a day? I didn't think so.
Plus, you can hide your profile, so it is semi-private.
Nice post!
Oh my goodness I have had dramarama on my facebook at some points too, and it is not fun at all! Also I agree it is hard to blog because some of my friends that I didn't want to follow my blog now are! So frustrating but sometimes you just have to deal with it I suppose.
This is so true! Thats why i havent linked my blog to facebook cause i really dont hold back on the blog and i may discuss people who i'm fbook friends with...eeeeekkk!
Oh, I have no privacy anymore. I'm one of those what you see is what you get kinda folks anyway, so it's not really anything more than you would find out had you actually talked to me.
What I hate is the fact that needy friends, that I have to limit my exposure to, stalk my plans and goings on with other friends and get jealous. Drives me insane. But selfish, immature people are an entirely different subject that I'll never be able to blog/tweet/facebook vent about.
Oy vey.

I understand this is from oh, 9 days ago. I just started reading your blog so I read down your page and saw this blog post. I just deleted Facebook about a week and a half ago. I was sick of everyone knowing everything about my life. Facebook compared to every other social networking, I feel gives out the most personal information. I am not a fan. Facebook has made so many problems in so many people lives. Just sick of it. Internet is taking over.!
This why my bf and I do not facebook eachother! Neither do we facebook each other's friends!
It helps that we are not addicted to facebook...it's like a black hole!
