When a person you thought you could trust, in matters either personal or professional, has royally dicked you over for their own personal gain.
Turns out the status updates that were originally only accessible to my friends are now visible to anyone on the internet, just so Facebook could rip off what Twitter does. Talk about a double-Zuckerpunch!

"The act of creating deliberately confusing jargon and user-interfaces which trick your users into sharing more info about themselves than they really want to. Usually associated with e-marketers and e-spammers." -Tom Jones

Having one's privacy slowly stripped away while utilizing a social networking site; having private images become public inadvertently via a social networking page to embarrassment of an individual.
Dang, did you see that picture of Brian taking a belly shot off that stripper? He sure got zuckerpunched when he didn't realize it went out to the whole world, including his boss!
