be careful what you post.

An article says that The Wall Street Journal produced an article that highlighted the importance in regards to how posting to social networking sites could impact prospective employment opportunities. The article, entitled, “Mr. Pratt Cleaned Up His Act to Impress an employer; Killing a MySpace Profile,” highlighted the actions of a 22 year old, Mr. Pratt, who had at one time had a profile on MySpace that was somewhat boisterous, to say the least. The profile in question contained photographs of the individual drinking and also contained information about his dating activities.

This article I found points out that we should be careful on what we are saying and sharing on our myspace profiles because we do not know in time it might be used against us just like what happened to Mr. Pratt.

Thanks for this link. It is important to remember that you are not
anonymous in the www, especially not since web2.0. However it is
up to you to decide how you use it.

dwilkinsjr, what is so bad about myspace especially then?

It's main user base for one. Also what people use it for. And just a general disliking of the whole concept. Oh well, to each their own i say! :)

Absolutely - and it does not have to be MySpace.

Sites such as waybackmachine (http://www.archive.org) pull out some surprising things from what are now polished sites.

myspace lacks any privacy for users - i have a page but i rarely use it now for this reason.

facebook.com all the way :p
