While this may be true, it is also true that EVERYONE needs to be aware of what they are posting, and where. Employers WILL do a Google/FB search on you before hiring. Saying "anything" thinking you are anonymous on the internet is just foolish - I don't do it here (where I am "slightly" anonymous), nor on my blog, nor on FB.

Unlike some, I have every "fear of it coming back to bite" me. That doesn't mean I don't use the technology, just that I am careful in my use.
