Cap'n Crunch is alive and well

Looks like the cereal has not been discontinued, although Daily Finance ran the story back in March. The product's webpage also alludes to this story. Notice too how Cap'n Crunch is now on Facebook and Twitter, and I should add that almost every Twitter post includes the word "Crunch." At least the Cap'n knows how to stay on message.

Online presence

Here is another story posted on CNN.com, that links to CareerBuilder.com; it discusses some of the issues I have raised in class. In particular, it mentions how employers use social networking sites to gather information on job candidates, and that a significant number (35%) have decided not to hire a person based on the information they have found. The article also mentions that having no web presence is also a red flag to employers, and it offers some tips on how to improve your web presence.
