Careful What You Post

I recently signed up for facebook. One of those everyone is doing it so why not me. It’s really a good site. I like it much more than myspace. It has allowed me to reconnect to my old friends from Bradley. The advantage over myspace is you need a college email address to sign up. This helps cut down on spam accounts that are there just to get you to go to their porn site. Anyway the point of this article has to do with some pictures I saw on many profiles. Most involve underage drinking with underage or barely legal girls doing things you would see on Girls Gone Wild. With that being said this article is to provide some advice. We live in a world where Google is a verb. I’ve heard of blind dates googling each other before hand. More importantly is that companies go on sites such as myspace and facebook when checking on a potential hire. If your potential future boss sees a picture of you with a beer in one hand without a shirt in the middle of a pack of half naked college girls your chances of getting the job will shrink fast. The internet is a free public place for personal expression. However, too much personal expression can be a bad thing. Do not post anything on any site you do not want everyone to see. You might want your friends to see you chugging a beer but you don’t want your boss or maybe your family to see it. More than likely everyone you would want to see it probably saw it live when it happened anyway. The moral of the story is behave on the internet.
