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.
