@double digit: I don’t know, but you’ll definitely get asked to friend Arianna Huffington.

How will joining your facebook group affect my Gawker Connectedness Index?

Don’t be a hater, Cindy. I’ve begun to expect, and even like, Daniel’s nightly “superpoke”.

Also, our readers should know that it’s NOT OK to “friend” us on Facebook unless they are hot and/or rich.

Nope not ok… I would never want to add my boss. Especially not on facebook because you really dont have the option of limiting what they see or know. Not that I would have anything to hide (right). But their needs to be a balance between boss and employee. Atleast in most corporate settings. I wouldn’t even respect my boss the same if I discovered she has a myspace or facebook. I think she has more important things to worry about. Hmmm like running the department!

The image that goes with this post is actually of Gabriel, Cindy and Daniel networking.

I’m on Facebook to stalk people through their photo albums and failed relationships. I’m obviously not there for networking since no one is joining Guanabee’s Facebook group anyway.

A co-worker threw a sheep at me recently. That was awkward.

I don’t add co-workers or bosses until after I’ve left the job and if I left on good terms. Most of the time, we’ll exchange emails anyway, so I figure seeing each other’s profiles is not a big deal.

I believe in complete personal anonymity at work. That means no friend requests on myspace or facebook from coworkers or young, hip boss. Truth be told, aren’t we too old for these sites anyway? Professional networking sites exist: LinkedIn, and others, on which you can truly network. Let’s not kid ourselves, no need to be sending or receiving “showing mad love” comments from people who control our merit increases and promotions…seriously.

Also, the only reason I’m on Facebook is because my boss, Daniel Mauser, made me get on there for “networking” purposes. I still have no idea what that means, but I now get daily creepy friend requests from total strangers and people I thought I left in high school. Thanks, Daniel.

OH Gabriel, quit hiding behind Guanabee. He’s your crush. Just let it out.

I actually have my manager as a ‘friend’ on myspace. He sent me the friend request and the next day at work he had askd me if i had accepted him yet. I was like what the fuck!
but he is cool… we’ve partied together, and he knows how to talk shit… it’s quite funny!
