Mehul Kar Question: I am the only person managing a new online community (CollegeDesis). What is your opinion on singular vs. plural pronoun usage? I want to develop the community into larger than myself, so I tend to think that the brand is plural. But then I get personal questions like this: http://bit.ly/kgkv6i. I don't want to admit that it's one person for fear of losing reputation or credibility. But I don't want to lie or ignore these questions either. What should I do??

While it is not rude to ask someone who is revealing to cover up more (preferably in private through a senior female coworker), I do agree about how unreasonable for men to expect women to look like they have no breasts at all from your example. Perhaps finding strategies on dealing with that would be enlightening and good reference for the future? Strategies for dealing with that don't just fall out from the sky. ;)

Sara Gonzalez Is anyone using virtual career fairs to reach out a larger talent pool? I work in HR with our Internship Program and we are looking into how we can incorporate them into our recruiting strategy.

Paula Patinella: We do have some recruiting done in virtual environments. There are several IBM SLURLS in Second Life. You can connect to people there.
