A new web site We Know What You're Doing has collected hordes of status updates that have been posted publicly. Many of them delve into FB users who are hungover and hate their boss.
Site developer Callum Haywood tells CNN: "I created the website to make people aware of the issues that it creates when they post such information on Facebook without any privacy settings enabled. The people featured on the site are most likely not aware that what they post as 'public' can be seen by absolutely anybody, and that Facebook will happily give away this information to other websites via its Graph API."
In short, check your privacy settings and think before you press the 'ol 'POST' button.
