Comments on: Everlasting Footprints, But Not From Birkenstock http://www.otherbb.com/2008/10/everlasting-footprints-but-not-from-birkenstock.html Canadian views on the online business world Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:13:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Graham http://www.otherbb.com/2008/10/everlasting-footprints-but-not-from-birkenstock.html/comment-page-1#comment-692 Graham Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:53:55 +0000 http://www.strategicmarketingmontreal.ca/otherbb/?p=709#comment-692 There are any number of reformed people who want to tell their story through a blog. Should we really be trawling the net looking for dirt in order to not hire a new employee? Does it really matter if a new worker has a myspace page with a picture of them after a few drinks? Should we assess the suitablity of a person to build a house because they blog about their political or religious views? Does it really matter that someone made an inadvised comment on a forum or in a blog comment? There may be people who obsess about their public profile but to tell the truth, I don't care if my local mayor smoked a joint when they were at uni 30 years ago as long as they perform their duties well.
