Connection: I can connect to this article because I have accounts online, such as Facebook and Twitter, and I wouldn't want to be posting anything that could affect my chances to get into college, although I don't.
Questions: Is searching someones online accounts necessary and something that needs to be done?

Extend: Someone should tell kids early on in years, "before" they are supposed to get a Facebook or twitter and tell them about the effects of what they post can have on their life's and acceptances to colleges and jobs.
Challenge: I would challenge someone to explain in detail the kinds of things they were posting, how they took the information, and how it affects their acceptance.

Predictions: I would predict that more kids wish they knew this information.
Interpretation: If more people knew about this, I would interpret that many would have more than one account although people could view it.
