clearly..........maybe the first poll she should've conducted then is "how to deal with confidential information - post it on the web or keep it to yourself?"

court, but trial by Facebook is not an option, apparently, as a British juror
discovered after being booted out for running a poll on the social not-working
site to determine the defendants’ guilt.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/25/juror-asked-facebook-friends"><P>The female juror purportedly posted confidential details of the case –
concerning child abduction and sexual assault – on her Facebook page, after
which she told her friends "I don’t know which way to go, so I’m holding a
poll."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/25/juror-asked-facebook-friends"><P>Needless to say, jurors are not allowed to discuss details of a case with
anyone, not even close family members, so posting a public poll – she forgot to
configure privacy settings – which could be read by the world and its mother
caused justifiable concern.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/43263CB5-A60B-49C4-923A-F80BC0CCB771/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
