No place is safe. Everywhere you socialize online, you are branding yourself. You might not be aware of it now, but if you’re planning a professional career in the future, prospective employers are almost assuredly going to google your name to see what they can find out about you.

When you interact with others on social sites such as MySpace and Facebook, it’s for all the world to see. Some of these sites protect your ramblings by allowing invites only, but it’s important to be aware of what others can and cannot associate with you.

So, for all of you business college students out there, keep things reasonable and try not to exploit your latest Spring Break photos with the rest of humanity. It might be deciding factor in a second interview.
