The list of items cited in the article seems fairly
comprehensive, though I personally would not reject
a candidate based on the last two items (personal
photos or other posts or their choice of screen name), 
and I think the "bad mouthing" of past employers 
and/or co-workers would be a grey area unless they 
had inappropriately involved their workplace, such 
as risque photos taken on company premises or posting 
their comments from their office email accounts while 
they were still at the company.
