The last three or four companies I’ve worked for did. Usually a month or so in HR would want to know why I didn’t tell them about my birbsite account. They also usually asked why I didn’t update my LinkedIn page to say I was working there now.
You mean, there are places that don’t monitor their employees’ social media accounts to compare against?
Neither do I. I’ve had a sensor net watching for Wayland news (because sooner or later I’m going to have to migrate to it, just want to know when) but so far there hasn’t been any executive summary.

The subtext there is “looks much less like a tech toy, which is why Glass didn’t catch on.”
Yup. A lot of folks don’t seem to understand that this is the case, though.
Pretty soon, there won’t even be soft-off switches anymore.
They’re just going to do it anyway. They always do.
Next up: Televisions that don’t have off switches and never go to sleep.
What’s the difference anymore?
