Recruiters aren’t the only ones looking at candidates’ Facebook profiles. Four out of every five college admissions offices use the social network to recruit students.
That statistic comes from Kaplan Test Prep’s 2010 survey of college admissions officers. And like the company’s Senior Communication Manager Russel Schaffer clarified in an email, “we found that 82% of admissions officers reported...

Google Voice to Allow Number Porting from...

Mark Bittman's iPhone Application Makes Cooking...
Mark Bittman’s kitchen tome, How To Cook Everything, was recently released as an app for the iPhone, and I downloaded it this afternoon.
