Default Speaking of myspace...

I was just sitting in my econ class earlier when the professor started talking about how he had been talking to a few of his colleagues yesterday and they were discussing how they had been using myspace and facebook to help gather background information on applicants to get a sense of who they really are. Just thought that might be an interesting piece of info to pass along for those of you who use those services....

Just make your MySpace profile private. They can't see anything then.
