Companies shouldn't be checking social network sites…But if you suspect that they are then be careful what you post on your profile, especially if your personal information and photo is displayed. It was completely harmless for her to have posted about her interview… Not much people would take much consideration on focusing on her tweet anyways…

If this market driven interest rate is manipulated by increasing the money supply (money being used to measure wealth), investors and consumers are fooled into thinking that, a) Investors can make the investments and b) Consumers can keep on consuming. This creates a dislocation of consumption versus investment or savings, ending up in resources being gobbled up faster than if the investments were not made or the consumption delayed. This is the boom-bust cycle

It is so easy to find people these days on the internet. I think she was very foolish to mention the company name in her internet communications. I use a friends only livejournal and still don't mention the name of my company in it.

In general I don't think it's a big deal this girl twittered about her interview and possible job offer on Twitter. First of all, unless she's famous odds are no one is reading her tweets except a few family members and friends – with whom she would presumably share the info anyway. She probably should have been less open about the fact that she suspected another person would be fired to make a position for her, but if the company is going to go around telling applicants that somebody is getting fired for their position, they can't be that upset if the news slips out. I assume they have cause to fire the old person with or without some potential new applicant spreading the word around.

I think the HR manager was perfectly within their rights to check out the person on social networking sites. Discretion matters. If this potential employee is going to blab about their interview without even bothering to veil the identity of her employer, what will she do with privileged, material information? I wouldn't want her working at the NSA, CIA or DoD, but perhaps I am very wary of outsized personalities and company secrets because I work in DC for federal clients and I have also worked in accounting for a publicly traded firm.

I agree that companies might be going too far by snooping on social media sites. But, at the same time, they do want to know who you REALLY are. When I Tweet about a client, I don't identify that client. And I try to keep things (mostly) professional on my social media outlets. As a professional blogger, I don't like to be anonymous. I need people to find me I guess it just depends on the job you have.
