Heck, look at that Zoey Zane girl. I wasn't around then but if I understand correctly, she was a pretty big name in the industry and yet her family and friends had no clue.
Girls know from the age of around 13 that porn is freely available on the Internet. The boys in their class tell them. So by the time they become 18 they are well aware.

Maybe some of them think it's a road to riches and don't care about being found out. But any honest shooter will soon tell them what the chances are of that happening and the consequences.

A girl used to be able to be a porn star and her family not know, today the chances of her getting shot for 2-3 days and keeping it from her family are slim.

Girl does porn, 5 min clip goes on tube site, old boyfriend or BFF finds it, posts link on his/her facebook profile, life as she knows it is over. :-(
Happens all the time.

Only once have I seen a girl's real name used in pushing her content and that upset me pretty badly. Granted, she was, and probably still is, a bitch. Regardless, no matter what a girl's done in adult, I think it's really really bad to reg her real name as a domain name and put her content or links to her content on it. Are we really that desperate for sales that we're trying to market her videos to 100 or so of her family and friends?
We're regularly getting girls telling us their real names are being used. Some models directories ask for a girls real name, it's all about SEO. Much more important than the girls life.

This girl now has a college degree and is in the workforce. To this day, I google this girl's real name every few months just to see what's going on. I can tell she's trying to get the links using her real name down as links occasionally go dead but still, that would just SUCK for a young girl trying to make it in the corporate world knowing anyone who googles her name can watch her do a li'l suck n fuck.
Or she goes for a job interview and they Google her name. Happens.

Has is been harder for you to find new girls? Do you think that Facebook and other social networking sites will make it harder to find new girls? Or perhaps easier? Should I give a shit if they get outed? Thoughts?
Judging by some of the girls spammed here I would say it is.

Every shooter and agent I know of, except Jim, tells the same story. Same old girls popping up all over the place. The numbers are down and the quality falls along with it.

Jim, give me an access to your models page please.
