Readers will be redirected to sites with their own country's domain name when they try to visit blogs recognized as foreign, as determined by their IP addresses.

This will make it easier for people to dig into your past from your homepage in an unprecedented manner.

Click on a year (say, 0000) and you can see everything they did in those 00 months, including status updates, photos, and wall posts.[...] Does this matter from an employment point of view? Well, yes it does. Numerous surveys have shown that employers are using Facebook and other social media sites to vet job applicants.
