By Piers Fawkes on March 2, 2009

Seth Godin writes about an interesting example of Red Coat Black Coat issues when a friend Googles potential housekeepers and finds all three applicants with less-than-hoped-for backgrounds or published opinions.

The best plan is to overload Google with a long tail of good stuff and to always act as if you’re on Candid Camera, because you are.
