An important point to keep in mind is that employers (and prospective
dating partners, for that matter) routinely do informal background
checks via Google. Also, HR people often join Friendster and the like
to cull personal info on prospective employees. New York Magazine did a
piece a few months ago on this called "MySpace Invaders":
