I wrote earlier about the funny and sad "Facebook nice wand / cool wand" story - that story made #2 on a recent list of big career mistakes on Facebook.  The photo is priceless!!!  What a mistake!

Top Facebook Mistakes:

• Allowing too many people to see photos where you are tagged, and then having people tag you in photos where you are making mistakes
• Changing your relationship status before you talk to the person you are going to break up with
  
• Using your personal page as the place for your business (use a business page / fan page instead)
• Posting party pictures to Facebook that night instead of next morning
• Making the mistake of checking in at a location like the beach or a restaurant using a location based service
  
• Being part of a Facebook groupthat you would not want your employer to know about
  
• Becoming a fan of a product that you don't want people to know that you like
• Posting a status update on Facebook about hating your job, after making the mistake of being friends with your boss
