Have You Ever Suffered From ‘Poster’s Remorse?’

Ever post a slam or otherwise ill-advised comment or photo on your Facebook wall, only to instantly regret it? According to a just-released survey from tech shopping site Retrevo, 32% of social network users admit they’ve posted something to their accounts that they later wished they hadn’t, ranging from “extreme political views” and “racy pictures” to “complaints about your boss” and other “hastily” posted content. Retrevo found that smartphone users are particularly prone to “poster’s regret,” with a full 54% copping to a mobile post that left them red-faced. The story gets even worse for iPhone users, with 59% admitting to a regrettable lapse of judgment. Of course, you could always delete your account forever and then you won’t have to worry about doing stupid stuff.
