In this day and age, one can find out tons of information on virtually anyone. This is both good and scary as it is getting easier and easier to build up knowledge [ammunition?] about the ones we know and even those we don't.
i'm not a malicious person. i'm not vengeful person either, but it occurred to me as of late that it is far too easy to tarnish someone's image. This is by no means meant to be a threat; just merely an observation.
My roundabout point: Why eff with people? It seems to me that this reality would encourage people to play nice in the sandbox. Everyone knows a good reputation is very hard-earned and it doesn't take much to have that reputation sullied.
I mean the fact that on job interviews you are googled, checked out on myspace and other similar sites by your prospective employer is point-in-case. If that is the way it is for all things corporate, think of how easy it is for not so passive audience members to wreck havoc.

hence the reason to have your pages marked "private" and your photographic representations match the "you" that is visible in the real world. heck, i've opted OUT of a photo job because of someone's nauseating display on myspace. on the flip side, if that's your thing, groovy, but create an alias before you get your online groove on. kidos, christineeee. as always.
So, what happened? You interviewed someone and then checked 'em out online and decided "nay" -- I'm just trying to read between the lines here. I did create an alias myself. Ding ding ding! xo
Nah, i just now people do look up one on myspace, etc.... I will say that when people have obnoxious email addresses i don't bother reading the rest of their resume.
