More Warnings Against Oversharing on MySpace

Skapare writes "Your next prospective employer might be watching your MySpace page, according to a story at the New York Times. And if you think Facebook is more private, maybe not if that prospective employer has an intern from the same school checking up on you." From the article: "Students may not know when they have been passed up for an interview or a job offer because of something a recruiter saw on the Internet. But more than a dozen college career counselors said recruiters had been telling them since last fall about incidents in which students' online writing or photographs had raised serious questions about their judgment, eliminating them as job candidates."

Re:Be careful how you try to close your accounts

I had one a couple years ago that got "killed by Tom" back when you could review pictures and make comments. Maybe you still can, I don't know. I'd comment on girls in bikinis by saying stuff like, "Not so bad, you can hardly see his adams apple" and, "Pretty good with the tuck and roll -- not much visible mangina".

That got some girl saying her marine boyfriend was going to kick my ass. I offered to give directions to my house. Then my account was deleted.
