Facebook and Myspace also keeping your professional life professional

Today I would like to blog about MySpace and Facebook. I am going to be honest right now: I am not completely thrilled that recently so many of my coworkers have begun to embrace these technologies. I have been on them both since 2005. To me it is my online community of friends. This is not to say my coworkers are not my friends but they are a different kind of friend. I don’t think I am wrong in feeling that I would like to keep my professional life professional and personal life personal.
On my Facebook friends can post pictures or make jokes. Some of the fun I have with my friends outside of work is not what I would like to share with people who are my supervisors or my colleagues. I think that is okay. This being said I think that I would really have to consider it if and when my coworkers “friend” me. I am sure they feel the same way as well. Okay I have said my piece for now.
