This piece is of exceptional interest to me, as I've been quite curious lately how job hunting through Myspace or Facebook pays off in the real world. I was out of college just a smidge before the Facebook craze hit, but I have been working on setting up a Myspace page so I ended up listening to this one as almost a "do's and dont's" guide to online networking. If you listen from this perspective, then I think the interviews and commentary are quite insightful, but if it's played as simply a story, then it might feel a bit dated. Maybe Mr. Terrell can re-edit it to be spun from the former angle. If the target audience for the piece is college aged youths, then I think it would be more beneficial to them in that context.
