I have several friends on various social networking sites that want me to join, and add them as friends. I am a computer professional, but I have never (and probably never will) join these internet websites. As I am on the computer all day at work, the last thing I want to do when I get home is get back on the computer. I wholeheartedly agree.

However, the conflict here seems to be HOW MUCH personal should be there? I started using Facebook as a personal means to communicating with my friends and it's slowly grown to encompass my professional network and many of my (now former) co-workers. Obviously I'm holding the basic rule of avoiding any work-related conflict of interest from appearing on my FB page, but there goes the same issue...how much is too much? @Dave and @Ernesto I completely agree with your assessment and think that if you're using Facebook for professional reasons, you shouldn't make it so “stale” that people start to think they're interacting with a robot.

Nevertheless, if it's new business culture to mix "business and pleasure"... eventually it'll be strange NOT have personal elements of your life in your professional profiles... you'll be the guy that people wonder what you're hiding.
