A scary but cool thought...

"Shid - I don't even want to THINK about our future president's Facebook, but it is certainly a wakeup call to undergrads (and everyone else for that matter) who put questionable things on their account. Most likely, those things are still going to be there 5-10 years later, and you might have even forgot they were there, or even completely forgotten about Facebook when the next big thing comes around.

If they don't know that already, they're in trouble. I know for a fact that there are employers and graduate schools that look for anything questionable on social networking sites. It's just a matter of time before a Facebook/MySpace issue comes up in a national race.

I have a friend who just finished law school with serious ambitions of running for President. She's actually pretty conservative (her Political Beliefs say "Fred Thompson"), but she's got Freaker's Ball pics on her profile. There's nothing TOO racy, but I still don't think posting a pic of yourself in the shortest, tightest police costume in the world is a good idea with those ambitions.
