It seems a bit strange that even the evening news reported that HR managers are increasingly researching the internet the background and the profile of applicants. And why should they give up this important source of information? meantime, a new use of the Internet is doing on the Internet as a digital pillory.
According WIKIPEDIA is a pillory
"an instrument of punishment in the form of a pillar, a wooden pole or a platform on which a bound punished and was publicly presented. [...] The punishment consisted mainly of public disgrace, what the offender had to endure and often a "normal" life in the community made it impossible or very difficult. "
The following are some examples of the recent past that the character of a pillory to do justice.

The digital pillory is one of countless examples, such as long-known concepts of the benefits of the Internet and in digital form successfully established.
pillory give the "helpless" individuals the opportunity to grievances - real or perceived - to publicize and spontaneously mobilize a community of stakeholders. It remains to be seen whether this instrument will not soon find its way into the more significant policy and other organizations in which appears the discrepancy between the will of the parties concerned and the decisions of leaders to continue to grow.
It will be interesting to see whether in fact prove permanently specialized pillory or whether it will in the medium to a kind of consolidation with central pillory come (or meta-Prange?), A similar development towards the central platforms could be the internet for many platforms - from the auction house up to the social network - Watch.
