Yes, if you're *going* to do it, it makes obvious sense to take
reasonable precautions - but I *still* don't understand the motivation
for doing it in the first place! Just what do you hope to achieve?


As you said employers search facebook. I'm half toying with having
some minimal information up there just so that I appear infront of
potential employers with basic work related information. Similarily
something on linkedin might be beneficial.

As for the other "I've just bought brocoli" stuff that is published
on facebook etc, I see very little point.
