I think most people are missing the point here.

Sure some people will get rejected for having inappropriate content associated with their name, but the lack of having a good online persona is way worse then having a bad one.

What do I mean? Do you have a professional blog? Are you an active commenter on any professional mailing lists or forums? Do you help run or maintain any open-source projects? Does googling your name reveal a comprehensive history of your career?

I know personally that I get most job offers directly from my github account and linked in account.
