Colleges Help Students Fix Their Online Indiscretions
A growing number of colleges are providing graduating students tools to improve their online image. The services arrange for positive results on search engine inquiries by pushing your party pictures, and other snapshots of your lapsed judgement off the first page. Syracuse, Rochester and Johns Hopkins are among the schools that are offering such services free of charge. From the article: "Samantha Grossman wasn't always thrilled with the impression that emerged when people Googled her name.
'It wasn't anything too horrible,' she said. 'I just have a common name. There would be pictures, college partying pictures, that weren't of me, things I wouldn't want associated with me.'
So before she graduated from Syracuse University last spring, the school provided her with a tool that allowed her to put her best Web foot forward. Now when people Google her, they go straight to a positive image — professional photo, cum laude degree and credentials — that she credits with helping her land a digital advertising job in New York."
I just feel bad for John Goatse.
I don't see Steve Jobs anywhere on that page. Oh, did you mean Newtown?
Indeed, what about the party-going Samantha Grossman who WANTED such photographs to be found when you googled her name? What an insensitive clod!
Circumcision is child abuse.
...until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Why publishers/ad agencies often take English grads from oxbridge = we have an Oxford Alumni on our team (digital marketing for a FTSE100 company) - Bridget Jones worked in publishing and the diary has jokes about "wittgenstein"
But are any of them capable of forming a complete sentence?

Now she'll never get her sugar daddy!
