Microsoft has just completed a survey, consisting of consumers, HR managers, and recruiters in the US, UK, Germany, and France, and finds that while fewer than 15% of people think that their on line information will matter in getting hired, 70% of employers in the US (much bigger than the other countries) rejected employees because of information found out about them on line. And nearly all US employers surveyed thought it appropriate to base decisions on information found on line.

So much for organizing on line big brother is watching.
