Facebook Screening

As for the employer side i fell this is a bit of a sneaky underhanded way to retrieve information, but i believe it is a totally smart and perfectly fair thing to do. It might invade on things a person may have preferred for just there close friends or family to see, but as the saying goes "never write anything down that you don't want to be read". And on top of that there are security systems that only allow certain people to view such a profile or information, so if you would wish you could simply enforce the barrier and do what you will from "behind" it. Further still if your profile is clean and makes you look better as a person then this could really cut you and your future employer a nice break.
