Being in the Human Resources field, I can definitely vouch for this. I am an employer and I DO check facebook and myspace accounts on all of our applicants. It is a way that we can get some insight into your personality and see who will best fit the company culture. While we do not discriminate solely on the fact that we didn't like something on your facebook/myspace page, we are allowed to take it into consideration when choosing who to hire.
Companies like to protray a certain public image just like most Fraternities and Sororities do.
