Kliff also notes that she focuses on a "professional image." It is true that many employers use facebook to discover a little more about potential employees, however, a stunning interview and a colorful resumé is not going to be outweighed by a few embarrassing pictures or rather or not you like penguins or bagels better. Besides, employers can only view your profile if yo allow it. Also, facebook is not the only website that employers use. They use national search engines to research as well. Finally, they use references on your application. Novel concept right?
Finally, Kliff admits that she could notbe without it. She clearly rebuts her own argument with that statement alone. Her ethos is completely thrown out the window when she claims "Still, I would be hard pressed to give up my four year membership or leave Facebook out of my morning routine." I agree that technology has GREATLY reduced the amount of face-to-face interaction, however, I think that it increases interaction on some levels because you can interact with many people at once. Facebook is a vital part of the collegiate community for both students and professors.
