To answer the original question, I had one employer Google me before hiring me; however, I've been told that this was more for fun than to actually check me out. It doesn't seem to have made a difference, as I got the job. With the current pace of hiring going on in the industry, and the lack of staffing in a lot of the HR departments, I don't think they have the manpower to do checks of your online social-network accounts.

Grow up.

Since when is networking not a grown up thing to do? Think before you speak.

The internet can be a scary place . . ... it is all in the sites you visit

Facebook was developed in what, 2004, for college students?

There's a reason most folks outside of Generation Y don't know about it...

It may have been created for the younger kids, but I have re-established contacts with tons of old friends who I had lost track of over the years. It is a great tool for that.
