Bloggers need not apply

Here is a scary article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. However, it makes sense. When someone publishes a blog they open their writing (and sometimes these lives) to the world to see. So, we either hope that the committees are not tech-savy enough to find our blogs, or you hold your tongue and keep it professional. I'll vote the second option.

What this article doesn't address is the fact that most people who dish on their blogs tend to do it in an alias. While it might be possible to track someone down, it is highly unlikely that a committee will do so (hint, hint ;)
