My current employer did the same.
I just heard that another guy who sent in a resume posted some pics of himself on his Facebook page looking rather sloppy in appearence. One of the guys who helps with the hiring is on his friend's list. He is now a little embarrassed. Amazing how this internet stuff can come back to haunt (hurt) you in the most innocent way.
Good advice wrxpilot.
