mbabbitt··on Should Your Startup Offer Virtual Internships?
Some colleges do insist on a "brick and mortar" office environment for college credit. However, many -- such as Columbia and Champlain -- are moving toward acceptance of virtual internships as bona fide experiential education opportunity. Check out YouTern.com... you'll find many available internships there.
mbabbitt··on Recruiters Using Facebook... as a Reference Check
YouTern would never suggest giving login information to an employer, or anyone else. And it highly unlikely -- unheard of, even -- that a recruiter would ask for login info or passwords.

We've heard of several applications that contain fields for links to social media sites, including Facebook... so assuming the commenter used "login" when they actually meant "URL" or "link".
