OMG!!! What's that on Jim's Facebook feed?

Lesson No. 1: When you change your relationship status on Facebook, a note goes out to a bunch of people. And when you do it on Valentine's Day Eve, people notice!

Lesson No. 2: Master lesson No. 1 before you do it, so you don't wind up repeating in public a note I just sent to one of my concerned Facebook correspondents:

I'm totally embarrassed to admit that I never updated my Facebook profile after I started using it for Gannett Blog. (I opened a FB account for a USA Today story several years ago, but then didn't start using it again until recently.)

Yesterday, I discovered I never got around to withdrawing, correcting, amending, etc., personal information that doesn't need to be out in Cyber Wonderland. See you back on Earth!

    Unjoin the USA Today Network so people don't get the wrong idea.
