Private Is The New Public

Apparently, your college just saw that last status update.
Colleges are now able to track your online social chatter.  This violates the privacy of students hoping to get in.  What colleges may find is an inaccurate reflection of students abilities for college based on their social networking and social life separate from school.
So remember that if you apply for Harvard, they can see that you "liked" MIT.
