Pitfalls of the Read Write Web
I think this really is a fairly serious problem. If people who are applying for a job get offended by managers or college recruits looking at their facebook or myspace pages, get over it. When you post information on a public domain, it's public, one way or another even if you do set it to private. Posting pictures of drunken parties or obscene photos is not even welcome in my eyes either. I don't want to see it, employers don't and neither do some of these people's friends. It's really just an attention getter, and people should rely more on their own personality to gain friends or romantic interests. The problem is not just with the older students, but with the younger children too. Kids in middle school should not be allowed to have profiles on either of the domains. Parents need to keep a closer eye on them.

I agree that people should not post things that they do not want EVERYONE to see. If you do not monitor the information that you put on the internet, you do not know who is going to see it.
