Peeking at Your Myspace

It surprises me that only 10% of college admission officers had looked at an applicant's Myspace or other social networking site. Further the implication was that they had only looked at some applicant's sites. For example, a student might have mentioned the site on their application. Or simple curiosity? Was it only in those cases? Thus a very small percentage.

Via Slashdot, which had previously posted about the same practice of employers. These sites are public and should be fair game. When I meet someone for the first time it is one of the first things I do. Students should learn that.
