Why waste valuable social networking hours getting yourself "Facebook fired," when Twitter allows you to humiliate yourself quickly, and in 140 characters or less?
A recent tweet by one would-be Cisco employee proves that when it comes to placing a permanent black mark on your resume via the Internet, Twitter is now the tool of choice. To illustrate, here’s the tweet the now Web-infamous "theconnor" shared with the world:
It wasn’t long before Tim Levad, a "channel partner advocate" for Cisco Alert, shared this open response:
Was "theconnor’s" job offer rescinded? Nosy netizens have yet to suss that out — but they’re doing their darndest to make "theconnor’s" life miserable in the meantime. It didn’t matter that "theconnor" almost immediately set his Twitter account to private and deleted all information from a home page. It was already too late.
This social networking comedy of errors spread like dancing hamsters across Twitter. In the retelling, "theconnor" earned the nick, "Cisco Fatty." Before the work day ended, Web sleuths revealed "theconnor's" true identity. "Theconnor" was lampooned in a popular YouTube meme. And thanks to Google Cache, the deleted content of "theconnor’s" homepage resurfaced on CiscoFatty.com, a Web site erected to commemorate this cautionary tale.
Even if the good folks at Cisco somehow see their way past "theconnor’s" monolithic lack of inner monologue, there’s a lesson here: The Internet can get you fired.
Unfortunately, it’s also a lesson even people apparently smart enough to get offered a "fatty paycheck" are incapable of learning. So let’s review: The Internet is not your BFF. Everyone has a "My boss sucks" moment. But the prudent know to express this sentiment away from the keyboard because they also have the "My boss knows how to use the Internet” sense they were born with.
"Cisco Fatty" and all those who came before, and those who will inevitably come after, are breaking the cardinal rule of the Internet: Never post anything you wouldn’t say to your mom, boss and significant other. Alas, if that message hasn’t sunk in by now, it never will. And thanks to Twitter further eroding the wall between your big mouth and a moment required to download some good sense, the Internet is now empowered to get you fired faster than ever.
It’s like virtual Darwinism. The "Cisco Fattys" of the world are damned by their own senselessness. It’s only a matter of time before each they stumble on the Twitterific platform of their ruin.
It almost makes one misty for the early era of Web 2.0, way back when getting yourself “Facebook fired” took a couple of days following an unfortunate post … or at least a couple of hours, before your co-workers, boss, friends and/or family caught on. Sigh.
Who doesn’t have fond memories of the Kevin Colvin Halloween Pixie Fail of aught-eight? He’s the young man who took time off work for a “family illness” only to turn up in a time-stamped Facebook photo at a costume party in full fairy regalia.
Why it was just last week Philadelphia Eagles stadium employee/football fan Dan Leone lost his job of six years for this overzealous complaint posted to his own Facebook profile that read:
"Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver ... Dam Eagles R Retarted!!"
Sure Leone’s got a potty mouth and his inability to spell an archaic adjective is unfortunate, but that’s no reason to fire a guy — especially a guy so passionate about his employer. It’s not like "theconnor," whining about Cisco’s "fatty paycheck" and hating the work.
Whether unfairly "Facebook fired" in the past or "Twitter fired" in the future, what’s fair won’t change the fact that you didn’t think before you posted, and now you can’t pay the rent.
Internet culture smarty pants Clay Shirky speaks of a day in the not-too-distant future when human resources departments will have the wisdom to look beyond social networking faux pas — at least in some small part because by then, everyone will have made at least one.
One only need look to the government to see this may already be happening. The government, where Twittering through the president’s speech to Congress results in nothing more damning than a perturbed mom pointing out to Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. that such behavior is simply rude.
In the government, even compromising the security of a Congressional delegation in Iraq via Twitter is no biggie. Back in February, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., tweeted this as-it-happens update regarding his group’s location and destination:
"Moved into green zone by helicopter Iraqi flag now over palace. Headed to new US embassy Appears calmer less chaotic than previous here."
Such a status update on old-timey Facebook wouldn’t have been nearly as potentially deadly. Happily, it seems, guys who may wish America ill weren’t following Pete’s feed. But I bet he’s getting a good ribbing from his fellow Congressmen for that one. As the Cisco Internet meme demonstrates, sometimes the possibility of losing a job (or your life) may not be as painful as the humiliation that ensues.
Another government guy who failed to get fired for his Twitter blab might agree. In early February, Jeff Frederick, chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, thwarted his own party’s coup with this tweet:
Unfortunately Frederick never figured the Democrats were following his feed, and said negotiations were quickly quashed. While this historic loss of Republican power may mean Frederick’s eating his lunch alone for a long long time, Frederick still has his job. and like "Cisco Fatty," he’s experienced one inalienable truth: Live by the social, die by the social.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm in the Army, and for a long time we've given a mandatory 'safety briefing' before weekends and holidays which basically amounts to saying, "Don't do anything stupid". That's recently expanded to (I'm not kidding) "If you do anything stupid, DON'T take pictures!". The whole point of blogs/social networking sites is that everyone can see what you post...anyone who posts something which gets them fired pretty much deserves it; I agree with the "Intellectual Darwinism" thing. Maybe it'll do our society some good. Or not. I guess they can always run for Congress.

I was going to ask the same thing. What's that old adage about listening at keyholes 'lest you be vexed? At the same time, I suppose, there is another saying about if you say something and someone repeats it, you can always deny saying it. If you write it, there's little doubt. But it doesn't strike me as ethical or legal to be monitoring people's personal web pages. It's kind of like reading their mail or looking in their purse. Of course, I've had that happen to me too by nosy employers. There's a line people, and both employees and employers need to take care not to cross it. But who makes the line, I guess, is the question.

Although it may seem like an egregious breech of privacy or of good work time, a lot of companies have their people (or hire firms) to just scour the Net looking for their name online. This way they can not only get a pulse on public perception but also take action to have unfavorable comments removed. Companies should do this...if it were my personal name, I think I'd do the same.

Web pages and networking sites are not private nor personal. Anyone can see them. This does not equate to reading ones mail. My mail is sealed and I'm the only one who opens it. A web page is public! Not private!
Businesses have a right to know if their employees are publicly humiliating them. Here's a news flash: Don't put pictures or notes or your stupid moments in front of the world!

I don't Twitter, but I do have a Facebook account. What I don't understand is why people would even post anything work-related; I absolutely never make references to my job or co-workers. In fact, I've only added 2 coworkers as friends and 1 of them I regret adding. I just don't need my work and private lives intertwining. The most I would ever post is that I got a new job or something like that; it would be very vague. I NEVER name names or complain about my job on Facebook like some people I've seen. People are so stupid.

You don't have to write volumes about your job to get fired! The guy who called in 'sick' or only to post pictures of himself in full 'fairy/tutu' regalia worked for a company that prided themselves on conservative values.
You can't expect to work for a large corp. that wants to maintain a trustworthy appearance while posting you Alcohol induced excapades online! Posted ignorant photo's of yourself and friends are what's getting you and your friends in trouble. Just ask Michael Phelps!

sara6978,
Don't you know that "social networking" is just another cog in the corporate "life control" machine? It started out with PCs and then laptops/notebooks/PDAs etc, evolving to smart-phones; part of the managerial conspiracy to get even more unpaid overtime out of you than they already do! Now that the have their ears & eyes on your personal life too, you can be disciplined / terminated for what used to be termed an "off the cuff" remark! Does "1984" ring a bell?

I work for a company that has simple requirements. I get up in the AM. I log on to my company computer. I fix a cup of microwave instant coffee. I update my daily schedule in a memo to my boss. I smoke a cigarette. I dial in to a 30 minute dispatch meeting and log on to a whiteboard for outside consultant updates. I shave and brush my teeth. I update my schedule from my pager. I order parts and consult with higher eschelon repair team members by phone, pager, and computer. During the day I am constantly receiving pages, calls, instant messages, email, and anxiety attacks.
I don't get dressed in the morning, I get BORGGED. I have been assimilated.

You post things that are work-related in order to take part of what is now called "personal branding." Recruiters and employers go Google'ing to see who does what in the job market. This is how they can steal you from the competition, and how you also get raises.
Of course, nothing is to prevent somebody else redoing their own personal branding of you. They can take your name and misuse it.

I agree that Twitter is for those that do not have a life!
Know what else is frightening about Twitter? I watched Keith Olbermann on MSNBC last week. He listed Twitter as one of his "Worst Persons in the World". It appears he discovered that someone created a Twitter account using his name and a photograph of him. He also discovered that he had over 13,000 followers. He declared that this account was a fake. He never created it. He contacted Twitter and Twitter apparently refused to remove the account. So, in other words, if someone wants to, they can set up a Twitter account with your name and write anything they want and there is nothing you can do about it. We all know that some people can be very cruel.
I don't know if this circumstance has been corrected by Twitter since last week. I have never looked at Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. It just sounds as though we all have to be careful.

I can't believe people are still dumb enough to post negative things about their workplace, people at their workplace, or even really post things that make themselves look bad online! I have a Facebook, and the worst I have ever posted about my work (at a school) is that "I am not looking forward to waking up early again after Spring Break!" or "Man...tomorrow is going to be a long day!" In fact, much of my about me section is about how much I love my job (and it's all true, thank goodness). How hard is it to think before you type, especially about something as important as your job in an economy like this?

West, let's say for example a teacher posts pictures on Facebook, or Twitter, or some other site. The pictures are of her naked. She teaches high school. Would you want your teenager, especially a boy, knowing what his teacher looks like naked? Would she have the respect from the students? Don't tell me that this is free speech and we're losing our rights. If you want to post your personal life in a public forum, you have to be prepared to have repercussions.
