What happens on the web stays everywhere

The Washington Post discovers what we've known for a while. There is not such thing as privacy on the web:

"I know for a fact that when a superintendent in Missouri was interviewing potential teachers last year, he would ask, 'Do you have a Facebook or MySpace page?' " said Todd Fuller, a spokesman for the Missouri State Teachers Association, which is warning members to clean up their pages. "If the candidate said yes, then the superintendent would say, 'I've got my computer up right now. Let's take a look.' "

Read the whole thing (registration may be required for page one) and remember what some of these teachers are discovering, if you put yourself on the web you will be seen.
