In college I was very careful because I was involved in student government and now I work for the college. Facebook is the place I stay in touch with friends, so there is a little more information there. Twitter and my blog are more professional. They help me develop my career skills and meet people with similar career interests.

For a long time, I wouldn't even allow pictures of me holding a glass of wine. But, I'm 25 now, so I've loosened up on that. My facebook is private anyway. As for my blog and twitter, I'm semi-anonymous, so I don't intend for employers or grad schools to see it at all, but I blog as if one day it won't be private, so I don't write anything that would threaten my employment or school standing.
