Wow, that's pretty scary!

I guess I should expect employers to do it, but I'd hate to think stuff I've put up for a laugh could influence my job prospects.

E.g. one pic of a drunken night out on MySpace makes you look like a degenerate, when it could have been a one off special occasion and you hardly ever drink.

The things you put up online are usually extremes of your behaviour (who would post a pic of themselves sitting at a desk working hard?) - weird to think it could affect your prospects.

You could use it to your advantage I suppose - anything under your proper name should be respectable and all drunken pics under an alias
