...like to admit it, we’ve all done our fair share of it.However, for the small number of you out there that are completely unaware of this semi-shady social reality, a brief series of examples can serve as quick enlightenment. Creeping is nonchalantly perusing through the Facebook of that girl that sits across from you in section.

The tech news website CNET features a "spreadsheet of sunshine": a list of top Web 2.0 companies in search of software engineers, developers, open source technicians and other savvy staffers. Among the blue-chip companies hiring en masse are Facebook, Samsung, Intel and Research in Motion, the makers of the Blackberry.
