Yes, because some people post private / intimate information in a very public space. Also, it can damage your ability to work, since many companies search the web to find out about their employees.

I knew a girl once at work who loved MySpace, Nexopia, Facebook, all those fantastic social networking site new or old. She spent the better part of her work day trolling them. The anonymity allowed her to criticize whomever she wished, whenever she wished, and this girl did it constantly. She would visit her ex-boyfriend's page to barrage him with insults, even getting her friends to help her. I would hear a lot about "douchebags" she would meet online.

Is this story an example of who social networks can ruin relationships? I don't know, probably not. Is does seem to suggest that these things can retard your social skills, however.

dvasquez2010, you spend too much time on social networking software, I'm leaving you. I'm taking the cat.

yes i think it does not just in like love relationships but also with business like mr witter said. because people think they can put what ever they want and not have consequences to it. but then if you use it properly and safely then im sure it could be a great source for networking. but for now i guess we just have to deal with lil kids trying to show what they are not over the internet whiel sitting down and truley just lying to them selves. which will later coem back and bite them in the butt. and then what. they will regret not showing who they really are. because i kno that everyoen can be a good person its just that they choose not to. i ffeel as if there will always be more and more people trying to make other people choose wrong sides and its only the true people that will choose to do the right thing and the things that it will give back will be far more better than anything you can get by doing the wrong thing. so myspace is just like anything else that has potential for greatness. but yet it does ruin peoples relationships.
