I think each of us has to be mindful of just how open we are going to be. There are ways in most sites to stay connected, but to only have limited information displayed to certain users. Wow it didn't take long for you to acclimated to Facebook! :) I hear what you are saying. I think each of us has to be mindful of just how open we are going to be.

It is very true that Facebook can be helpful, work-wise in communicating with friends about business. If work, and career, and business get pulled in too much, though, it makes me uncomfortable. I have a friend on Facebook who started working for her self as a resume/job search consultant, and I have been inundated by her posts that are related to her work- so much so that it is forcing me to ignore her and possibly drop her. Anytime I see a profile picture with a business suit on, I wince! If it is someone's intention to reach out business-wise on Facebook, they should realize that they could be infringing on others' leisuretime. Great post, Gina.
