ST Facebook Smart people. Over the weekend a client e-mailed our office Somehow the client found me on FB and tried to friend me....

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) May 17 '11, 09:33

My FB and work life are totally seperate. I dont have anyone or anything work related on my FB. Obviously I must have something that is somehow connecting my FB and work together. My FB is not searchable to the public and "friends of friends" is the most public setting I have for FB.

So does anyone have any thoughts on how this client found me through FB? What privacy setting do I have "open" that allowed the two to be connected.

Thanks.

My money is on "friend of a friend". FB is just that random. -- nm - Amy May 17, 09:44
I believe names are searchable, if nothing else. Even if your name were "John Smith" and you had no profile picture or other info... - Mop (208 lbs) May 17, 09:37 9
- I have thought this too, but I have it set that only "friends of friends" can search and there are at least six of me in my city. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 09:44 2
  - The invite will show if you have any friends in common. -- nm - Fuzzy May 17, 09:48 1
    - Hmmmm no friends in common. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 09:56
- I think you can set your profile so it's invisible to name searches -- nm - Roger More May 17, 09:38 5
  - you can. also if WD is active on political pages on FB, that could explain it. -- nm - amanda jones May 17, 09:39 4
    - Or if client saw a wall post somewhere and recognized the name. -- nm - Amy May 17, 09:46 1
      - I mean, "Walt Disney" is kinda recognizable. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 09:49
    - There are a few groups I am a member of but only one or two that are event close to job related. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 09:46 1
      - that might be your answer -- nm - zork May 17, 09:48
If your profile pic is a photo of you and they can see your location, that may be how. -- nm - TWuG May 17, 09:36 1
- No pics on my profile. Its something Disney related. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 09:42
your email address? -- nm - Andie May 17, 09:35 1
- My work e-mail is not anywhere on my FB -- nm - Walt_Disney May 17, 09:42
