Social networking has taken the Web by storm in the past 2 - 3 years: People have acquired "Friends" by the thousands, conversations have been enjoyed by diverse people across the globe and ... people - normally reserved shy people - are putting rude pics, nude pics all up on the Web for the world to see.
Is that smart?
Last year it was reported that companies have their recruiters scouring the Web to make sure potential candidates haven't played themselves on the Web. But guess what: So many have.
So many people (not to mention malicious pranksters)have put nude shots of themselves on the Net that it's like they don't want to ever get a job. And to think, we're in a recession-depression.
Would you do it?
Could you do it?

I still have mixed feelings about this one. I mean, I can see the argument that if you "publish" pictures of yourself then they are fair game for anyone to be able to view, BUT, on the other hand, why cares? What does that have to do with your ability/skill level/etc to perform on the job? Why can't the quest to employ be based on a person's ability to perform on the job and not what they do away from the office (which would fall under the category of "letting one's hair down").
