I read an article called "Making Kids “Googlable” " on weblogg-ed where the author talked about how many employers have admitted to searching a future employee on google an or myspace to see if there is anything negative about them. He says,

In most cases, they say that the intent is primarily to find out if there
is anything negative that surfaces. Almost all of them admit, however, that
finding positive things about their applicants, as in portfolios or
collaborations or even social sites, does or could make a positive
difference in the process.

I have heard that they do this and I think it is sometimes a good idea. I guess I don't totally agree because google can't always be a reliable source. i know that some of the kids i know who do have a myspace might not like that to much either. The autor talked about how parents might be worried about what their child's portfolios will look like in the future and if they are going to do anything to help change or make it look better. Some said, not much. io don't think they should. it is more of the child's responsibility to do they best work they can.
