Today brings terrible news for Facebook addicts - apparently the number of companies now trawling the site for information about job applicants is on the rise.
A new study found 27% of companies admitted to either already screening candidates online, or planning to in the near future.
Employers owned up to analysing profiles for grammatical errors, inappropriate pictures and even links to criminal behaviour, as well as checking employment and school history.
It could be yet another sign of the backlash against the site.
Earlier this year a coalition of children’s charities urged ministers to make it illegal for companies to trawl Facebook and other social networking websites for information on prospective recruits.
They say that employers and educational establishments are known to be browsing the internet looking for “digital dirt” on young people who have applied for positions.
The charities, including the NSPCC, the Children’s Society and NCH, said that the call for a new law is part of their wider concerns about online safety for children.
But is there anything you can do? Well, the key is really learning how to use Facebook properly.
It's well worth spending a bit of time learning how to set up the site's excellent privacy options, and you can limit the people who see pictures and messages about you.
For instance, my parents (who recently joined the site, god help me) are still constantly amazed that there are seemingly absolutely no pictures of me there, and that nobody has ever posted messages to me.
I'm just hoping they never work out just what the phrase 'limited profile' means...
