Thanks so much for this information. I think the best tip from the article is that: job seekers should be making their social networking profiles employer-friendly. I guess the old adage "what you see is what you get" really does apply here.

As involved as I am with social networking and employment, I intend to use this same tool in screening people I work with...what a great idea! You can really see who someone is by what they put out on the web! Thanks for the article!
