This is why I've just adopted a policy of not getting friendly with anyone off the clock. Professionally courteous, yes, but not friendly.
Because then you get too complacent and you say things that the coworker could easily use against you and your facebook and myspace accounts are basically the 24/7 equivalent of having your coworkers out for a beer.
None of the companies I've worked for have ever had a specific policy against posting online. K-Farts actually encourages employees to post current sales online and right now the Bent Staple is doint some kind of promotional deal connected to Twitter.
But the bottom line is, if you don't want someone to read it or to take it out of context, then don't post it and don't say it to them.
