I find this whole brouhaha over the impact of social networking on career prospects to be more ludicrous than the brouhaha over sexual predators on MySpace. Yes, employers Google you. Yes, they look at your MySpace. But they're going to need to learn to keep people's shenanigans in context!. Social networking can't kill your career, using poor judgment (i.e. posting photos of yourself doing something illegal) on social networking sites can. We've been having a great conversation about this over at the Blog Business Summit (see link above). We'd love to have you join the debate. Pay special attention to the posts entitled "A Guide to Interpreting a Potential Employee's Social Networking Profile" and "Responses to Yesterday's Social Networking Post." Honestly!
