I am sure i am not alone in not wanting to have anything to do with facebook and don't want to see who has eaten a carrot this week on every page a visit?

I'm almost tempted to visit facebook to make sure there isn't a tool with my name. xD

haha, i actually asked a friend who uses it to check and luckily nobody with both names for me. "I am not a number!!"

As for the comment in that article about employers checking it, not being on it luckily didn't affect me getting my new job
