Hi Ryan,

This is a good one as I was just posting around this subject as well. The other day I read in the paper about gossip surrounding the Toronto International Film Festival and bed bugs in the seats at one of the theaters that they would be screening a movie at. This was just a normal individual who tweeted about bite marks on her legs and behind blaming the theater. One of her friend’s works in Hollywood who received the tweet then reposted it that went to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and within days it was all out that TIFF was infested with bed bugs. Turns out that the theater did not have any but she did. Shows how something small can become news just from a confused individual. I know people do not care much about the recruitment industry as they monitor the film but what’s stopping people from spreading rumors’ or posts on the dangers working with you or small agency’s vs. large or large vs. small? People have different ways of interpreting these things but as another generation who are obsessed with social media come into the work force dangers do exist with social media.
