Kaplan recently conducted a phone survey of 123 of the top 200 graduate programs in education, engineering, psychology, and public administration (as reported by U.S. News & World Report).
Survey says that 29% of admissions officers that were allowed to visit applicants' social networking pages rejected the applicant based on the page's content.
Admissions officers were also asked if they through it was appropriate for students to use social networks such as Facebook to reach out to graduate schools, and 65% responded that doing so would be inappropriate. Well, no duh.
A new GRE debuts this week and the questions were part of a survey that evaluated the new format.

You are absolutely right, Recruiters have got an effective tool of social media to judge, predict the mentality and character of the person to which they are going to hire.
More I read stuff like this...I get more concerned about our privacy.
