An article on online journals, written by humorless cads....

Okay, the guy who misrepresented himself deserved to be caught at it - but they already weren't going to hire him. As for the rest, let's see. We have one guy who's very tech-y, and might "hang out in computer science". Or he might not, y'know. It's more than possible that he writes his journal for an audience, not for himself. There's one who kept a strictly personal journal, with no mention of her job - but she might change that!!!! And I might one day rent a billboard to tell the world that *insert name here* sucks and should be hanged at dawn. The author of this article might go out and shoot somebody. Reason, people, reason. And the liar, who wasn't going to get the job anyway.

Plus, I'm more than a bit concerned about those who were found on Google. I mean, "Shrill" probably gave her URL away herself, judging by the comment about "leaving your personal life out of interviews", but the rest? Names are rarely unique snowflakes. There are millions of people wandering around this world with my name. Unless the journal's author is giving away personal information like candy...

Dan got in a little bit of trouble because of his blog, but that was because of photos on it, and he wasnt told to remove them, just not post any until he was no longer working on that job site.

And then yesterday the Daily News did the thing about the guy who ran that NYPD Rant website and got canned.
