I'm a corporate attorney, and I often deal with employment cases. I tell all my associates that if they have facebook, myspace or any other social networking program to terminate it. Immediately.
Why? Because one of my first harassment cases involved the plaintiff having her facebook (and all itenerant photos and drunk posts) dragged into court to show that what her boss did was in no way harassment, and merely a response to her ridiculous behavior (she had friended him on facebook).
Tis a cautionary tale, at least in my profession. And unfriending people doesnt erase your history with them. Until the law steps in and says that those things are off limits for evidence (which they never will), you won't catch me or my staff anywhere near it.
