I keep hearing people's concerns about their twitter accounts and facebook accounts playing a role in the hiring process. While I do understand a companies concerns in the "personal live's" of it's employees as it reflects on their behavior, it is indeed just that. Personal. We are slowly living more and more online so it is only natural that we are using the internet to share our lives with our friends. Instead of picking up the phone to call your friends and tell them about that "oh so crazy night" we had, instead, we are opting to just post it online. We have all been known to share a little skin on the beach, but only some of us share these pictures while others do not. Does my propensity to share this on the internet make me that much different from a colleague that participated but doesn't share? Perhaps someone should do a survey on the work habits of people that share these so called "revealing" confessions and photos of themselves online vs those that do not. They may be just be surprised.

I believe it simply ENABLES people to HAVE the ability to share too much. Sensory overload is quite common these days considering the FLOOD of continuous input we are bombarded with daily from multiple sources. Ultimately however we are responsible for what we post and how we represent ourselves in this digital world we now live in. I do not believe social media encourages too much revelation .
