Are you a Fan of a product or a group or a political activist on facebook?
It’s important to know that when you become a fan, your profile could be used by any brand for their advertisement. This includes fan sites you might join that you wouldn’t really want getting out in the “press”. Everything you say and do on Facebook is potentially open to everyone in the world. Most young executives are realizing it can impact their job opportunities when the employer goes online to check out this new wonderboy and see’s numerous pictures of “Mr Frat Boy” in various stages of undress and drunkenness you know that’s going to affect his impression of you. Be careful with anything you say and do anywhere online because it most likely WILL come back to haunt you. For example just yesterday Mari Smith came up as a fan of “Dances with the Stars”. Now that affiliation is fine… but what if it was the SEO of a major company.. He just might not want the world to know that!
