In case you have any doubts about the impact social media can have on you career -- good and bad -- see the interaction below, which I came across on Mashable's web site (and which they, in turn, credit to TheNextWeb.)
While the snapshot above is a poignant warning to any of you considering bashing your boss in a public forum, the rest of Mashable's article is also a good read: "8% of US Companies Have Fired Social Media Miscreants."
If you have kids who are just getting into social media--or have a friend or relative who is dealing with these growing pains today--feel free to forward this blog post to them. After all, they should probably know this, too, before the next beer-binge party in school. (Have no doubt: Beer-binge photos are a no-no. Job recruiters search Facebook too!)
