Krista- Twitter can get your fired

I found this story about a guy who was offered a job at Cisco but then bad-mouthed it on Twitter. Cisco found his tweet and now he's out of a job. It says that HR Depts in the near future will have to overlook some of the online faux pas that seem to be occuring more frequently. There were a few other examples of politicians who disclosed (what seems like classified information) but didn't get fired.

But I guess the question is where is the line drawn between your social and professional lives?

It also mentioned Twitter is much quicker than Facebook on getting info out so therefore it's quicker to get your fired.
