Facebook and Privacy

During both Convention and Summer Leadership in 2010, I engaged in several conversations with folks about Facebook.  One of the recurring themes was privacy.  The other was the blurring of the line between your personal and professional lives.

As a general practice, the best way to keep your professional life apart from your private life on Facebook is to have two different accounts.  And while that may sound like a good idea, it may be a bit more involved making the adjustment now that many folks are pretty far down the road on one account on which they do both.

Regardless of what you end up doing, Facebook has all kinds of different ways to display information about you to groups of users without your really realizing that it is being shared.  FB assumes you want to share everything by default and have been responding to concerns about violations of privacy because of this philosophy.  Here are some interesting items you may not be aware of that you may want to investigate and correct.
