Excerpt: If you're in the midst of a job search like millions of other Americans, you might want to make sure you've got your internet presence under digital lock and key. A new company called Social Intelligence, just approved for operation by the Federal Trade Commission last week, is billing itself as an ultra-modern resource for companies looking to keep out drunks and other riffraff. Using deep search tools that make Google look like AltaVista, Social Intelligence will provide potential employers with an ultra-modern background check, one that scours the internet for a person's blog posts, pictures, and uploads to social media sites. If the employer doesn't like Social Intelligence's file on you, you don't get the job. Not only that, but Social Intelligence then keeps your collected information in an archive for seven years.
