Many people, mainly you crazy college kids out there, don't realize that everything you publish online, including your "private" facebook and myspace pages, are actually free to the government to peruse. And who knows what other kind of third parties are checking out your drunken pics from Sophomore year that Amy posted of you that you totally, like forgot about.
Be careful what you put online. I think I may have to do some searching of myself as well. Those darn pics of me streaking across the quad after that Alabama win may come back to haunt me.... i mean.....

Facebook Pages Could Land in National Archive
Imagine those unflattering photos snapped of you boozed up and doing keg stands New Year’s Eve 2003 or, worse yet, snapshots of your chubbier, acne-filled college days landing in the National Archives for all public peepers to see. That’s the fear for some Obama administration applicants who worry that the disclosed information, including Facebook pages, could end up subject to the Presidential Records Act and consequently be turned over to the National Archives. Before you go scurrying off to plead with Rahm or Joey B. for your application back, take note that not everything handed over to Obama’s transition team will end up on display at the Obama museum 20 years from now. Although, just in case, resist the urge to post that picture of the Dubya cardboard cut-out in a compromising position.
