文摘 FACING THE 5TH WALL: Facebook & MySpace
Careful what you upload on Facebook. A girl we know uploaded her Halloween striptease for her boyfriend. It wasn't until a guy she knows told her that she took the photos off. At that point, everyone had seen them.
Junior, U of Missouri - Rolla
I don't know how to say it, so, I'll just come out and say it. Will you be my friend? I'd really like for you to be my friend. Seriously, please be my friend. I need your friendship. I want your friendship. Give me your friendship... NOW!

At times, I will let you know what I'm eating for selected meals and what I'm wearing. Once in a while, I will post updates regarding competive eating contests (I make those up). Last fall I provided regular updates on a candy corn eating contest sponsored by the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce. I finished second with 54,543 corns in 24 hours (again, just a joke). Best of all, as my friend, you have a place to stay when you are traveling through Chicago (not with me, but I know a lot of hotels and city parks). I'd like for you to be my friend. Not only do I want your friendship, I'd also like you to join The Naked Roommate Facebook Group. You can find links at www.TheNakedRoommate.com or just look my profile up on Facebook and Myspace.

THE GOOD, NOT SO GOOD, and REALLY NOT SO GOOD
THE GOOD ? it feels good to get poked. It's nice to read the writing on the wall or posts on the profile page. There are so many ways to find out so much about people you would
