@not suprising a good lawyer can work wonders.
what douchebags.
@fuck. bastards.
@they let them off http://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2006/06/07/News/Ruggles.Vandalism.Case.Dismissed-2043702.shtml
@not really its a legitimate way to guage character…
and don’t tell me bs about sellouts who check it out..every student who goes to columbia and then applies for the high paying job is a bs artist who’s an overachiever who’s taken five kaplan courses on how to claim their only flaw is they’re a ‘work-a-holic’ at an interview
@legitimate? How can you judge character by this?
Oh no, Person X has a picture of him in a debaucherous situation! That must mean he exercises bad judgement, and of course the other candidates don’t do this!”
@Michelle Yes, but other candidates might not be stupid enough to put such a picture up on a site easily accessible to thousands of people.
@M.R. Exactly. It’s not the picture, it’s making the picture public. As much as you want to whine about the principle and how it’s a hypocritical double standard/turning a blind eye, that’s too bad because that’s how it is if you want a job.
@Stephen I can’t believe interns that are asked to do the checks are selling out their fellow classmates. That’s low.
@Oh, come on. It’s Columbia, land of the super competitive. I’m willing to bet most Columbians would happily sell out some random classmate for their own career advancement.
@DHI That’s why I hate most Columbians.
@DHI Does this tie in at all to the “legitimizing up” of facebook recently (with the deletions of joke accounts)? What I worry about is that they won’t be able to tell between ironic statements and what they consider to be actual descriptions of behavior, especially as non-facebook users. But whatever.
The larger point is, prepare for an increase in dicksuckingly engineered-for-profit facebook accounts. If the use of facebook as a screening tool proliferates it could actually destroy facebook’s original use, through privacy settings, sterilization, and decreased usage. Of course, this in turn would cause it to be less effective as a screening tool. Maybe you could get one of those “cycles” going.
@John Yeah, it’ll be great when people start putting in shit they made up to convince recruiters to hire them.
@are you talking about this europhilic car with german plates that seems to lurk around the neighborhood?

@no I was talking about a car with only European plates. The main plate area was European width. It was a white one on the front and a yellow plate on the back. I’ll check to see if it is still in front of WKCR.
@yea i used to use facebook. but since they’ve become the man, i’m getting nervous. also there is a car with french, or at least european plates parked in front of wkcr or at least was like 2 hours ago. it certainly made me stop and look.
@or don't use facebook at all…i’m willing to bet at least a quarter of college students don’t–at least at columbia
@Seriously... …just change your privacy settings.
@Wow This is news? How Not To Be An Idiot 101?
@M.R. You’d be surprised.
@eek Okay, that is terrifying. Not surprising, but terrifying. Off to edit my Facebook and MySpace I go…
@umm don’t you people read the NYT? It’s the number one most emailed link right now…
@RP well, someone sent me this link and I thought it might be bwog-worthy. As for the other things, it was kind of hard to miss the “Your account has been disabled” banner when I tried to log into my joke accounts.
@dear raza do you, like, search google news for “facebook” every day? you seem to have the scoop every time something about it comes up.
