I tell all my clients to use the social network sites as if their Mother's read them daily. That is the only way to prevent information you don't want shared from getting into the hands of people who can misuse or misunderstand it. Remebember, the casual comment you put on Facebook today, can circulate around the world for infinity.

The article I linked to in my post also focuses on the positive aspects of leveraging social networks for getting jobs: I was just reading your post about companies' using social networking sites for screening job applicants, and thought that you might be interested in the flip side of how social networks (esp. Facebook) can affect job search for young people. Almost 2 months ago, I invited my readers to participate in an experiment where they would target employers that they want to work for with Facebook ads. I had 5 college students who committed to working with me. They ran the ads and linked the ads to their resumes. The results were great, and they show that Facebook isn't all bad when it comes to job search.
